Jacobin Show: Is Culture Dead? w/ Catherine Liu & Eileen Jones


Listen Later

We're joined by the left's preeminent cultural critics, Catherine Liu and Eileen Jones, to assess why cultural production is so awful right now and what its root causes are. We also have professor René Rojas to help us understand why the progressive constitution in Chile failed horribly after years of mounting social pressure. Jen Pan examines some new independent union alternatives and why they don't stack up to traditional labor power. Finally, we pay tribute to Barbara Ehrenreich, one of our finest socialists of the modern era, who sadly passed earlier in the month.


1:00 tribute to Barbara Ehrenreich

8:20 interview with Rene Rojas

36:30 Jen’s segment on "pseudo-unions"
