Socialism 101
Socialism. For many, particularly in the United States, the word evokes some pretty dark images. Dictators. The Cold War.
But socialism started as an attempt to improve on capitalism. And, by the way, capitalism was really a reaction and criticism of feudalism. Back when society was divided into kings and peasants.
Whether you support socialism or staunchly oppose it, there’s no debate it’s a major economic theory in the world. And the U.S. does have some socilaist policies already, think police departments, public schools, medicare — those are all a little socialist. And while we at Planet Money have talked about socialism in certain aspects, we haven’t done The Socialism Episode.
Today on the show: Socialism 101. How it started, what versions exist today, and where it goes from here.

Ep 137 - Work Sucks (I Know) w/ Sarah Jaffe - The Antifada - Fans.fm
Author and journalist Sarah Jaffe (@sarahljaffe) joins Sean and Jamie to discuss her new book, "Work Won’t Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone." Antifada listeners know "do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life" is a dirty lie told by capitalists. But where did this idea come from? In this book, Jaffe traces the rise of "labor of love" ideology to the neoliberal turn of the 1970s, explains how it intersects with racism and sexism, shows how it damages workers, and lastly, gives some ideas for how to defeat it.

Outro song: Kate Bush - "This Woman’s Work"
