Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

A look back at the bestselling book franchise that taught people to “think like economists,” by which it meant “think cynically and amorally.”

Glad you liked it, it has offered me many hoursodf fun listening :) If you like Michael Hobbs, one of the two presenters, he has another podcast too, Maintenance Phase. It's very different thematically though, it's about nutrition and our bad understanding of how our bodies work when it comes to weight. Lots of interesting myth busting there too.
