The idea of capitalism is a good one but in practice it's not working for the majority. .

Definitely need change.

Thank you for the podcast, providing an easy-to-digest understanding of how we got to where we are, and in particular for highlighting how Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and their party branded themselves pro-people while being pro-mega-corporate. The relationship between between the rise of a neofascist danger and a population made economically insecure and politically unrepresented is critical to understand in this moment, and you break it down beautifully as well.

The only thing I'd like to have seen brought out more clearly was that the reforms of the first half of the 20th Century were the result of powerful, militant popular movements, especially organized labor, and often led by communists and socialists--those most clear on what unfettered capitalism leads to.

But this is a great start! Sharing, and looking forward to hearing more. Thanks, Marianne. 👏🏼
