Táíwò suggests the world uses the tool of reparations to connect the dots between current-day climate destruction and legacies of colonialism. Today, host Marco Werman speaks to Táíwò about his new book, “Reconsidering Reparations,” and about how a global system of reparations can help redistribute wealth, prosperity and power.
