Jacobin contributor Leigh Phillips discusses how an NGO-dominated environmental movement ended up alienating unions, what constitutes a "just transition," and why organized labor must be at the center of any successful effort to fight climate change. Tony Wood assesses the escalating Russia-Ukraine conflict and liberals' conceptions of Putin. Jen Pan discusses how the pandemic led to yet more "socialism for the rich."

The Jacobin Show, hosted by Jen Pan, offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the podcast version of the show from February 2, 2022.
