6 - Part 2: Beyond the Bellows

Hosts Will Beaman and Maxximilian Seijo briefly address responses to “The Bellows (Part 1)”, before articulating a positive vision of a Left political praxis informed by the political economy framework of the late heterodox economist Frederic Lee and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). Following a discussion of Lee’s “heterodox social surplus” approach and how it relates to discourses in critical theory, Will and Maxx connect their framework to the recent “Uni” proposal from the Modern Money Network for unions and community organizers to demand direct credit creation by universities to fully provision themselves as critical public infrastructure.
