Mass incarceration has rightly become a major topic of discussion and organizing on the Left recently. But our guests today, Adaner Usmani and John Clegg, have some issues with how we talk about that incarceration system and many of the standard strategies for how we go about dismantling it. John and Adaner are the authors of the Catalyst article "The Economic Origins of Mass Incarceration," which you can read here: https://catalyst-<wbr />journal.com/vol3/no3/the-<wbr />economic-origins-of-mass-<wbr />incarceration Also, you can and should preorder Bigger than Bernie by Meagan Day and your host Micah Uetricht here: https://www.versobooks.<wbr />com/books/3167-bigger-than-<wbr />bernie

Suzi looks at the significance and aftermath of South Carolina and Super Tuesday, asking basic questions about the disconnect between the enthusiasm and support for progressive policies and Bernie Sanders (and Elizabeth Warren to a lesser degree), and the reality of people then voting for Biden. Was it fear, motivated by the constant drum of the corporate media that Bernie is not electable but Biden is? We get views and analysis from our guests Matt Karp and Adolph Reed.

<style></style>Super Tuesday has come and gone, and Joe Biden is now the frontrunner. There's nobody better to talk about this stuff than Jacobin staff writer and Senior Biden Correspondent Branko Marcetic, author of the new book Yesterday's Man: The Case Against Joe Biden. We discussed Biden and the state of the race as a whole.Branko's book is excellent. You can buy it for just $10: https://jacobinmag.com/store
