17. Keeping Athena Company - Susie Steed

In this episode I am joined by someone with a PHD in economics and if you you listen you will learn about the following:

Why anti capitalists are really just anti imperialists because capitalism as it is intended to be doesn't really exist

Why financiers want to leave the EU

Why left wing politics has up until this point been imperialist 

Why the City of London might note be as sinister as you think.

This was recorded on the Sunday after the Thursday before so this is also your last word on the 2019 General Election! I promise this has plenty of food for thought.

Susie reads all the books so you don't have to and it was a pleasure to get her intellect on wax, so to speak.
