Episode notes

Sally Kohn: You have this interesting chapter about the huge scandal around apparel sweat shops in the nineties. She says instead of doing anything to actually late apparel production, surprisingly, clinton created the fair labor association. All really perversely. While intensifying imigration raids at garment factories here in the us. Why would it take another decade, really, for a more coherent american laugh to re emerge in opposition to neoliberalism? she asks.
