This chapter delves into the transition from the Green New Deal framework to Build Back Better and the resulting contradictory policies in the Infrastructure and Reconciliation Acts. The guests discuss the balance of political forces and how the implementation of these acts is impacting ongoing struggles. They also explore the potential pitfalls and challenges associated with Bidenomics.
Featuring Amna Akbar, Gabriel Winant, and Thea Riofrancos on the emerging terrain of struggle. Is American liberalism exhausted or revitalized? What are the successes and limits of the new US left electoral strategy? Is there a new anti-electoral mood amongst socialists? Why don't we have a powerful climate movement? What forces are making and remaking the American working class today? The second and final part of a very wide-ranging interview.
