Jacobin Show: New Deal Order w/ Gary Gerstle

Historian Gary Gerstle joins us to discuss what gave rise to the New Deal political order, the role that global communism played in the capital-labor compromise, and prospects for renewed social democracy after neoliberalism. Liza Featherstone also joins us to discuss how and why the left gets smeared as sexist or bigoted—and what the left should do about it. Finally, Paul Prescod joins Jen Pan to discuss both the Minneapolis teachers revoking seniority and the possibly impending rail strike.
