March 12, 2021 Michael and Us: Both Sides Now w/ Alex Shephard
America is divided, capitalism is to blame, and the only solution is... more capitalism. That's the thesis of STARS AND STRIFE (2020), another centrist documentary from the last election in which the architects of oligarchy and globalization, and big money in politics call for... an end to those things. Niall Ferguson, Rahm Emanuel, Amy Chua, Alan Greenspan, and Francis Fukuyama are just a few of the titans who deliver wildly contradictory prescriptions to America's ills in this truly dreadful documentary. We're joined by New Republic staff writer Alex Shephard to discuss. PLUS: the ongoing grift of David Brooks.

"David Brooks and the Endless Grift of the Conservative Commentariat" by Alex Shephard - https://newrepublic.com/article/161621/david-brooks-endless-grift-conservative-commentariat

March 10, 2021 A World to Win: Love Kills Capitalism w/ Kristen Ghodsee
This week, we have a special International Women’s Day episode of A World to Win, in which Grace talks to Kristen Ghodsee, Professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and author of many books, including Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism and Other Arguments for Economic Independence. The interview was recorded on International Women's Day.
Kristen skilfully deconstructs liberal, corporate, and NGO feminism, and helps us to think about how the feminist movement is about supporting everyone to build stronger, happier, healthier relationships and rediscover our unalienated humanity in the process. You can read Ghodsee’s article mentioned in the interview here.
