Episode notes

This was part one of my two part interview with ho fung hung, a professor in political economy at the john hopkins university. His writings also appear in catalus, jacobin, new efterview and spectre. My next episode will focus on the two thousand eight financial crisis, the deepening and balances and heightened geo political conflict that resulted. The impact of the crises surrounding russia's invasion, and what that all means for the us.

Part one of a two-part interview with sociologist Ho-fung Hung on Chinese political economic history from the 18th century to 2008: why capitalism took off in England and then elsewhere but not in China; and then, how Maoist policy laid the groundwork for China’s ultimate capitalist takeoff and boom. Episode two will focus on the 2008 financial crisis, the deepening imbalances and heightened geopolitical conflict that resulted, and the current situation—including the impact of the crises surrounding Russia’s invasion.
