Episode 16: Wage Slavery and Sturgill Simpson

Give Them An Argument by Ben Burgis

Episode notes

Current Affairs "House Economist" Rob Larson, historian and Jacobin Contributing Editor Matt Karp, and historian and Jacobin contributor Alex Gourevitch do a panel discussion of how to understand the concept of freedom in a way that doesn't just cede it to libertarians, how important that concept has been to left-wing movements from abolitionism to the early labor movement and how all of this relates to the contemporary left. Then, in the "Outlaws & Revolutionaries" segment, David Griscom joins Ben to discuss Sturgill Simpson's dreamy, druggy, political, and poetic bluegrass album "Cuttin' Grass." Guys, this one's a banger. Give it a listen.
