Ep 16: More Slaughterhouse Capitalism with James Stanescu
We are so happy to share another guest with you, James Stanescu, who collaborated with Vasile on the ideas in his recent essay for Current Affairs. We previously talked about Slaughterhouse Capitalism way back in Episode 2. Discussing these ideas with James was so fun, enlightening, and wide-ranging, from Marx to Carol Adams to AI.
