Give Them An Argument

Episode 16 - Wage Slavery and Sturgill Simpson


Listen Later

Current Affairs "House Economist" Rob Larson, historian and Jacobin Contributing Editor Matt Karp, and historian and Jacobin contributor Alex Gourevitch do a panel discussion of how to understand the concept of freedom in a way that doesn't just cede it to libertarians, how important that concept has been to left-wing movements from abolitionism to the early labor movement and how all of this relates to the contemporary left. Then, in the "Outlaws & Revolutionaries" segment, David Griscom joins Ben to discuss Sturgill Simpson's dreamy, druggy, political, and poetic bluegrass album "Cuttin' Grass." Guys, this one's a banger. Give it a listen.
