The Car and the Ecological Catastrophe - talk at Active Travel Academy online

My talk of last months at the Active Travel Academy at the University of Westminster has now been uploaded online. It is certainly the best content as of now for English-speakers to get to know about my soon to be published book "Das Auto und die ökologische Katastrophe". In the talk, I present some of the main theses of my book, including the car as a machine that turns "Nature" into a consumer product, the role of fascism in the establishment of the European system of Automobility and a more nuanced analysis of Electric cars. I am already negotiating with a great publisher about an English translation of the book - but until then, please start with enjoying the talk :)
