Another round: Why capitalism doesn't need democracy with Quinn Slobodian

In Liz Truss' disasterous mini budget, she promised to rip up the so-called economic orthodoxy, slashing taxes, in an effort to make Britain a country more like Singapore - but one where you're allowed to chew gum. The ideas that Liz Truss was so determined to implement can be found in practice all over the world: in zones where capital can run unburdened, free from the limits of pesky, old democracy. And, the British right are still looking to them for inspiration. Ed Campbell explores the story of these zones in this interview with professor and author Quinn Slobodian. Hosted on Acast.
