This week, we are talking about Law and the Political Economy, or LPE, which seeks to expose how the market and economy are disproportionately shaped by and to serve powerful interest groups and the economically and politically dominant. Christopher Wright Durocher speaks with Amy Kapczynski to better understand LPE, its development, and how it can be utilized to build an equitable economy.
