What Political Economy Is, and Why It Matters

Political economy is where money, power, markets, and public life meet. In this opening episode, I explain why the economy is not a machine floating above society, but a human order built through laws, institutions, choices, and power. The episode introduces the central question of the podcast: who makes the rules, who benefits from them, who pays for them, and what kind of life those rules create.Website: https://www.wernermouton.com/For more, join the community: https://www.patreon.com/wernermouton ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
