When the Economy Drowns and the Planet Burns
What if the solution to our economic crisis was also the solution to our environmental catastrophe? In 2008, as America hemorrhaged jobs and gas prices soared, this wasn't just a thought experiment-it was an urgent blueprint for survival. Hurricane Katrina had already shown us what happens when climate disaster collides with economic inequality: the poor drown while the privileged evacuate. The hurricane wasn't just supercharged by unusually warm Gulf waters; it was intensified by neglected levees, funds diverted to oil wars, and a society that had long abandoned its most vulnerable. Meanwhile, the richest 1% held more wealth than the bottom 90% combined, CEOs earned 400 times their workers' salaries, and 16 million households lived in extreme poverty. These twin crises-ecological collapse and economic inequality-weren't separate problems. They were two faces of the same broken system, and they demanded a unified solution.
