Unsafe At Any Speed, Chapter 1: The Sporty Corvair

The 1965 book by Ralph Nader kicked off a public debate about auto safety that still continues to this day. Much of the controversy surrounded the Chevrolet Corvair, an unusual car with tricky handling. We also discuss similar European cars made by Tatra and Volkswagen. But first: project car updates, including a small fire.

How High Car Prices Might Predict The Coming Recession

You might have noticed that everything is getting more expensive lately, especially new cars. Even used cars are going up in price, and not everything can be blamed on chip shortages or supply chains. Repossessions are up as the rate of profit falls and financialization squeezes the working class more and more. Are 84 month car loans the canary in the economic coal mine? Is the recession already here? We do our best to answer with the help of Marxist economic analysis.

School Buses and North Korean Volvos

The '70s and '80s were a wild time. Especially in North and South Carolina, where teenagers were driving school buses, and in North Korea, where the government was stealing Volvos. Back in the present, everyone's getting COVID, including three of us. Stay safe out there people!
