Jacobin Radio Folgen

Former Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis died this week at the age of 67. In remembrance of one of the most important left labor leaders in recent history, we hosted a remembrance of her for the Jacobin YouTube channel.

Host Doug Henwood covers the worlds of economics and politics and their complex interactions, from the local to the global. In this episode, Doug speaks with Noreena Hertz, author of The Lonely Century, on what loneliness is doing to our minds, bodies, and societies. Rossana Rodríguez, Chicago city council member, puts in a word in favor of mutual aid.

Every Wednesday at 6 PM ET, Jen Pan, Ariella Thornhill, and Paul Prescod host a new episode of The Jacobin Show, offering 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 audio version of the show from February 10, 2021. Ariella and Paul are out, with David Griscom filling in as co-host. In this episode, sociologist Jennifer Silva explains how rising economic inequality and the decline of social institutions has devastated rural America and led the rural working class to disengage from politics. Jen Pan and guest host David Griscom discuss liberals' misguided contempt for "red state" America. Jennifer Silva is an assistant professor at Indiana University and the author of the books Coming Up Short: Working-Class Adulthood in an Age of Uncertainty and We're Still Here: Pain and Politics in the Heart of America.
