Konstantin Kisin on Communism, Climate Ideology and Human Flourishing

Prosperity, Not Poverty by Magatte Wade

Episode notes

In this episode of the Prosperity, Not Poverty podcast, Konstantin Kisin shares how growing up in Communist Russia shaped his understanding of ideology, freedom, and economic reality. He reflects on how those experiences led to his widely discussed speech at the Oxford Union, where he argued that the real choice in climate policy is whether we prioritize human flourishing.

We explore his perspective on the climate movement, the push for Net Zero policies, and whether he sees parallels between the ideological thinking he witnessed under communism and some of today’s climate debates in the West.
