Is capitalism driving the climate crisis—or could it help save us? In this episode of Climate Brewing, host Susan Oxley talks with Bill McClain, University of Washington instructor, about why business may hold the greatest power for real climate action. Together, they challenge common assumptions about profit, corporate ownership, and the so-called “free market.” Bill introduces the idea of shifting from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism, where workers, communities, and even the planet itself are considered in economic decisions. The conversation explores how today’s system rewards exploitation—and how it could be redesigned to create long-term value for people and creation. This is Part 1 of a two-part series imagining a bold new vision for a just and sustainable economy.
