157, Author Max Haiven on Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire

On this edition of Free City Radio we speak with author and educator, Max Haiven on the book "Palm Oil The Grease of Empire." The book is described this way: "It’s in our food, our cosmetics, our fuel and our bodies. Palm oil, found in half of supermarket products, has shaped our world. Max Haiven uncovers how the gears of capitalism are literally and metaphorically lubricated by this ubiquitous elixir."
