It is just a theory this "capitalism" for it does not even exist in the reality of the central banking economic and political monopoly that we have. What we have is more akin to banksterism.
The money ( created from debt or from nothing)is on tap flowing but only for what this group of bankers want ie their agenda.
Its a giant ponzi scheme and debt in the taxpayers name is name of the game , its the racket .
I am also seeing that the lack of consciousness in politics is a tragedy .
Thank you for the podcast, providing an easy-to-digest understanding of how we got to where we are, and in particular for highlighting how Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and their party branded themselves pro-people while being pro-mega-corporate. The relationship between between the rise of a neofascist danger and a population made economically insecure and politically unrepresented is critical to understand in this moment, and you break it down beautifully as well.
The only thing I'd like to have seen brought out more clearly was that the reforms of the first half of the 20th Century were the result of powerful, militant popular movements, especially organized labor, and often led by communists and socialists--those most clear on what unfettered capitalism leads to.
But this is a great start! Sharing, and looking forward to hearing more. Thanks, Marianne. 👏🏼
Thank you. Please see Richard Wolff’s whole interview, where he goes into that in some detail. You’re right; I did say that it was a tradition to fight back but perhaps we should have included a little more specificity there since it speaks to the dangers of decimating the left. That interview is on my YouTube page.
Thank you! Just to be clear… The podcast is great! The only reason for my comment was to get that added point before others, not to criticize the podcast.

The idea of capitalism is a good one but in practice it's not working for the majority. .
Definitely need change.

Did you want me to look at a book?
Wish you love and success.
