We caught up with the author of Monopsony Capitalism: Power and Production in the Twilight of the Sweatshop Age to discuss the farmers' protests in India and to contrast India's social movements with those in the West. Before that we picked up the traumification of AOC and the Democratic Party, David offered an insider's guide to the structure of the Capitol Building, and Ashok gave the DEFINITIVE account of why bringing trauma into politics is always reactionary.
