Episode notes

This chapter explores the pressing global social and political turmoil, examining the sustainability of capitalism in light of current crises. It features insights from a Marxist feminist philosopher who advocates for a new socio-economic paradigm and underscores the need for a cohesive understanding of diverse movements to drive political action.

Radical politics and radical movements are on the rise everywhere. Against racial violence, and climate change; against gender inequality, corporate greed, low wages, oil pipelines, opioids. Maybe at heart they all have a common cause. Maybe they're all — in one way or another — a rebellion against capitalism.
