Episode 143
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
What is capitalism?
It's not efficient markets, factories, and free labor.
It's the financialization of empire and slavery, using greed, shame, indignation, and debt.
And that means the first great capitalists weren't British factory owners, but colonizing conquistadors.
