Drawing on Jens Beckert’s "How We Sold Our Future" and Andreas Malm & Win Carton’s "Overshoot", David Kampmann's @bjsociology.bsky.social review says no, but the real question is how we pursue radical transition.

Sanae Takaichi is the first female prime minister of Japan.

To some, this is a victory for women in Japan, but others see her conservative views as evidence there is still a long way to go.

Dr Kristin Surak was interviewed on BBC Radio 4 about the election of Sanae Takaichi.
