Historian Quinn Slobodian makes a return appearance to talk about neoliberals: their opposition to the European Union (essay in Mutant Neoliberalism), their hatred of the 1960s, and their embrace of racial and culturalist politics.

Two of the most pressing questions facing humanity are as follows: 1. What exactly has changed and what has stayed the same about the global capitalist economy in the 21st century? 2. Are we gonna have a Prime Minister Jezza in the UK before Christmas? Micah posed these questions and others to Grace Blakeley, a socialist economist, economics commentator at the New Statesman, and research fellow at the Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR). She's also the author of a new book, Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialization. She came through Chicago on the American leg of her book tour, and sat down for a discussion about the book and UK politics in front of an audience at Volumes Bookcafe. Thanks to Volumes for hosting the event.
