In the second to last segment from my chat with Ian Welsh (Ian blogs at ianwelsh.net), we dug into the state of UK politics and the unusual relationship that exists between the nation’s electorate and its media. From there we dove into the interests of wealth in our chaotic political sphere as well as more generally. As ever, Ian provided interesting insights and loads of food for thought. His discussion around the interests of wealth is particularly interesting in the context of ongoing election-related irregularities in the US.

The full discussion with Ian was fun and interesting, but he was particularly animated and enjoyable to converse with during this segment. (You’ll hear me laughing more than anything else…) I hope you enjoy it.

Check out my book, Pandemic Capitalism.
