November 14, 2025

This episode reveals how water, once a shared public resource, has become a target of global privatization and financial speculation. It examines how corporations profit from bottling and selling public water, how climate change intensifies scarcity, and how financial markets now treat water as a tradable asset. The episode also highlights grassroots movements reclaiming water as a human right, arguing that access to clean water must remain a public trust, not a commodity for the highest bidder.
