Adaner Usmani joins us for our second installment of the Anti-Essentialism Series, Part Deux. We discuss a recent article in Catalyst Journal, co-authored by John Clegg, titled "The Economic Origins of Mass Incarceration" (link below). This essay links the rise in violent crime and mass confinement to class struggle and various responses by regular folks and elites to neoliberal economic transformation.

Tune in and get smart.
