These interviews are part of a journey of exploration into two questions: 'How did we break?' and 'How do we heal?'.

Our guide for this interview is Prof Jason Moore. Here, Jason helps us understand our 'breaking' as historically enacted and deepened through successive waves of capitalist imperialism. Jason reveals how this racist and patriarchal project has necessitated and effected a now planetary scale reordering and ultimately destruction of the 'Oikeios' or 'web of life'.

At the heart of Jason's philosophy is a non-dualism that challenges and unites dualisms. Jason argues that our path to healing is not just through a practical politics of socialism, but equally through a 'revolutionary politics of love' that we are only just beginning to explore and articulate.
