The Progressive

William Magnuson, professor of law at Texas A&M University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his book For Profit: A History of Corporations.

This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, with editing by Steven Rozenfeld, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School.

In this episode of The Weekly Tradecast, we talk about illicit financial flows with UNCTAD’s officer in charge of statistics, Anu Peltola. 

Dirty money from terrorists and criminal groups fuels violence and instability, while the Panama Papers have exposed how secretive offshore companies allow corrupt politicians and the wealthy to stash away huge amounts.  

Apart from being illegal, the murky transactions deprive governments of revenues to invest in hospitals, education and services. 

Tune in to Anu to find out why illicit financial flows are so damaging and how we can fix the problem. 

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.

This episode, I talk to sociologist Jamie McCallum about his new book, Essential: How the Pandemic Transformed the Long Fight for Worker Justice. We talk about working conditions and unemployment during the pandemic, labor activism, and glimpses of working class unity.

McCallum is a professor of sociology at Middlebury College. His writing has appeared in the Washington Post, Mother Jones, Dissent, and Jacobin, and his last book Worked Over looked at the quantity and quality of time we spend on and off the clock.
