The Antifada

E256: IVF or IMF w/ Jason Smith


Listen Later

Sean sits down with Los Angeles-based Antifada political economy correspondent, Jason Smith of the Brooklyn Rail, to discuss demographic decline, a hot button issue relatively untouched by the Marxist left.

Why has fertility gone up in the past? Why has it gone down in the developed world? What do Marx, Adam Smith and Keynes have to say about this phenomenon? Why has the potential for population decline made the capitalists so crazy?
