Great podcast! I've learned tons about macroeconomics, geopolitics, class struggle, truths that the powerful want to remain hidden, and so much more. Definitely worth subscribing for new weekly eps.
Grumbine always brings the fire with enlightening guests to discuss a variety of topics from macroeconomics to political economy, from domestic to international politics, from cultural hegemony and western imperialism to environmentalism and the surveillance state, while keeping concepts relevant to current events and understandable to a mass audience willing to learn. 100% not-for-profit and in solidarity with the international working class.
Everything about economics anyway. This podcast has interesting guests, interesting commentary. I just hope that everyone else will figure it before we all go spiraling down the tubes.
among the few speaking the truth today about politics, macro economics, the dehumanizing of others not in the popular media belief system, and more. A must listen.
