PoliEdPod 5: Our Lives in their Portfolios (w/ Brett Christophers)

Class Unity

Welcome to episode 5, of PoliEdPod. In this episode, we present our interview with author Prof. Brett Christophers, on his book Our Lives in their Portfolios; Why Asset Managers Own the World (Verso 2023).

Our conversation covers the contemporary asset market, the rentier economy, and the changing nature of ruling class control over nearly all aspects of life in the 21st century, from basic infrastructure to real estate. We had a great conversation with Brett, and encourage everyone to give it a listen.
