Welcome to the show, Matt Bruenig! We’re glad to have the inspiring policy analyst and leftist political thinker on the show to talk about the big-ticket question: what socialism looks like in practice. Answers to the question can be found everywhere from Marxist writings to real-life examples across the globe, depending on who you’re asking. We’re going to Matt with this big question because his research on the policies that make for a strong and supportive social welfare system — single-payer healthcare, child tax credits, parental leave, just to name a few — help illustrate and ground our discussion in programs that improve quality of life for everyone, not just for the rich.
