Episode notes

We don't have responsibility to take care of each other. We're not caring for ourselves or developing our humanity, we're investing in ourselves. A lot of people are starting to see the failure of this market sort of fundamentalism. But it's just the shame and like a tragedy that so many people had to die a few decades ago for that to be seen.

The conservative, neoliberal counterrevolution in the face of expanding democracy in America: It started long before Donald Trump. Even before Ronald Reagan and his like-minded counterpart across the Atlantic, Margaret Thatcher.

By host and producer John Biewen, with series collaborator Chenjerai Kumanyika. Interviews with Nancy MacLean, Wendy Brown, and Rhon Manigault-Bryant.

The series editor is Loretta Williams. Music by Algiers, John Erik Kaada, Eric Neveux, and Lucas Biewen. Music consulting and production help from Joe Augustine of Narrative Music.
