We look on starry-eyed as fabled leftist intellectual and manifesto co-author Harriet Fraad discusses why she helped compose a document in 2008 aimed at reversing the decades-long decline in working class power in the United States. Basically, the Manifest-Bros have a Zoom meeting with their personal hero. Besides capitalism, we talk about psychoanalysis, McCarthy-era hootenannies, and Dr. Fraad's youthful efforts to scare off the feds with tampons.
You can find more of Dr. Fraad's work at Democracy at Work and listen to her talk about how capitalism affects our personal lives on her podcast, Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad.
