Ariella Thornhill speaks with John Nichols about his new book, Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers. Nichols argues that the massive number of deaths in the US were caused not by the vicissitudes of nature but by the callous and opportunistic decisions of powerful people and the ruthless profit orientation of capitalist society. Thornhill also speaks with Sean Petty, a pediatric emergency room nurse at a public hospital in the Bronx. Petty provides a picture of how nurses and healthcare professionals have been pushed to the brink by an unprepared and underfunded for-profit healthcare system, which has left nurses overworked and under-protected. The Jacobin Show offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the podcast version of the show from February 16, 2022 with Ariella Thornhill and Cale Brooks hosting.Subscribe to Jacobin for just $10: https://jacobinmag.com/subscribe/?code=JACOBINYTMusic provided by Zonkey: https://linktr.ee/zonkey
