July 06, 2020 Casualties of History: "Thrust Beyond the Bounds of the Constitution"
In this episode, Gabe talks with Gavin Mueller about Luddism. (Alex's internet died, so she's not part of this one.)

July 02, 2020 Jacobin Radio: Robert Brenner on Coronavirus
Suzi talks to Robert Brenner, who has just published “Escalating Plunder” in New Left Review 123, about the federal response to the shutdown of the economy in the wake of the coronavirus. The punchline is that the COVID-19 bailout, or Cares Act, not only escalates plunder, it is predation on steroids in a stalled economy in worsening decline. In other words, the bipartisan establishment has concluded that they can only intervene — and call it rescue — by underwriting the rip-off already in motion, bailing out the top 0.1 percent in the face of plunging production, employment, and profits. Brenner calls out predation. We get his analysis.
