This week, Grace talks to Rob Davies, senior figure in the South African Communist Party and former South African Minister for Trade and Industry. They discuss the impact of COVID-19 on South Africa and the rest of the Continent, the hegemony of the ANC over South African politics, and the challenges of developing an industrial strategy in a highly financialised, highly unequal, semi-perhipheral economy.

Folge vom 05.10.2020The Vast Majority: Blood on the Factory FloorPostwar American auto work in its heyday is often remembered nostalgically. But in his book Blood Sweat and Fear: Violence at Work in the North American Auto Industry, 1960-1980, historian Jeremy Milloy emphasizes how truly brutal it was, and how the violence of the production process produced violence between workers and managers.

Folge vom 05.10.2020Michael and Us: Rule of Thumb Pt. IIA podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world, hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. What does it mean to be "America's Critic"? What does it take to be the most powerful critic the world has ever known? Several months back we discussed "Siskel & Ebert," but now we turn our attention specifically to Roger Ebert, the Pulitzer-winner who may forever be America's best-known film critic. We watch the Ebert documentary LIFE ITSELF (2014), and ponder the movie's questionable assertion that "He did not get caught up in certain ideologies of what cinema should be." PLUS: why are liberals sending thoughts and prayers to the president?NOTE: As a special experiment for the month of October 2020, we will be posting two episodes per week - one free, one Patreon-exclusive.
