Antifada's History is a Weapon 10.2 "Farm Aid 1985" w/ Matt Christman
Added 2021-04-02 13:55:11 +0000 UTCHIAW is back with our tenth episode! In this one we wonder: what are the roots of the poverty of rural life in America?
The American Dream always included self-sufficiency and independence and nothing represented this more than the family farm. This form of petty commodity production used to be a backbone of 'middle class' life in America, but now less than 2% of the population engages in it. Alongside we have seen an opiate epidemic, material deprivation, deaths of despair and more. What can political economy tell us about the rural crisis?
Part 2 of 2.

2021-04-02 21:19:08 +0000 UTCProportionally, as in ratio of Antifada listening I do to podcasts in general compared to ratio of "you know, this person is spot on" experiences across all listening platforms, Sean scores off the charts.

2021-04-02 16:48:59 +0000 UTCI was hoping you’d get to the modern era, even though I learned a lot in the first half. I really appreciated the analysis on the logical conclusion to rectifying wage labor in the North and slavery in the South. Only one can survive. Looking forward to this second half.
