Endgame: Line Goes Down w/ Jamie Merchant

Jamie Peck speaks with Jamie Merchant, author of the book Endgame: Economic Nationalism and Global Decline, about the current state of things. As recently as the early 2000s, technocratic elites had come to a consensus around a fully globalized neoliberalism, but the crash of 2008 touched off a shift back towards economic nationalism that nobody could’ve predicted (except for Marx and people who’ve read Marx). How did we get here, and how might we exit the ever-worsening boom and bust cyc...
