Stagflation Nation!
🕑 Added 2022-05-15 00:02:55 +0000 UTCWe review the state of the economy and give our thoughts about the latest market drama and the newest economic phrase to bubble back up into popular consciousness: stagflation. We then reflect on how much an economic crisis actually matters.

The idea of crisis as not just an effect of capitalism, but as a tool of the bourgeoisie for "getting things done," strikes me as an interesting idea that's worth developing. In particular its ideological and cultural effects, which this podcast has already developed to some extent in the COVID and climate "crisis" contexts.

This was a good heavy listen (probably a double listen). I recently got Ernest Mandel’s book ‘The Second Slump’ and hope it gives me more clarity.
