Episode 3 - The Quiet Coup: Interview with Professor Mehrsa Baradaran
This is my conversation with Professor Mehrsa Baradaran, banking law expert and professor at the UC Irvine School of Law. We discussed Baradaran’s latest book, The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of America, in which she seeks to explain the origins of why college graduates struggle to achieve financial security; why the government seems so inept in the face of natural disasters; and why so many seem to be barely getting by even as pundits tell us the economy is strong. Baradaran, an avowed progressive and avowed capitalist, is brilliant and a heck of a lot of fun to talk to, and, no matter your political priors, her arguments are worthy of serious consideration and engagement.
Stay tuned for more episodes coming soon with commentary on current events and interviews with people from across the political spectrum.
