#4 Supply chains from the dawn of humanity until today
Show notes
Industrial production today relies on complex, often global supply chains which are a major source of carbon dioxide and other polluters. Elizabeth Bennett examines, how the European Union approaches the regulation of supply chains, showing which aspects are addressed, which are ignored, and the surprising consequences of these decisions. Meanwhile, Óscar Ricardo Solis-Torres goes back in time, literally diving into prehistorical underwater caves in the Gulf of Mexico, in search of very early remains of human activity, which also means: finding evidence of preliminary developments of supply chains. To understand them is understanding the Anthropocene.
