Episode notes

The fascinating about the market is, in some way that's more materialist than the kind of traditional, like civil wright's version. In this in the sense that new democrats framed poverty as solvuble by transforming poor people into these new antripeal subjects. So you are trying to solve equality through a system itself that's inherently, that has inherent inequities within it. Yet it's also materialist, even if in a twisted way.
