Critical Race Theory isn’t just a debate about race — it’s a lens for understanding power, systems, and who gets to define truth. In this episode, George Monty examines the economy behind ideas — how theories become commodities, how narratives are weaponized, and how identity and ideology circulate like currency through culture and media.
In this episode:
- What Critical Race Theory actually is (and isn’t)
- The social and psychological economics of identity
- How media and institutions monetize ideological conflict
- The balance between awareness, accountability, and manipulation
- Moving beyond polarization toward collective understanding
