Political Economy with Werner Mouton
by Werner Mouton
The economy is not somewhere else. It is in your rent, your wages, your debt, your time, your family, your fear, and your future.Political Economy with Werner Mouton explores capitalism as a lived system: made by people, enforced by institutions, explained by economics, and felt in ordinary life.Each episode looks beneath familiar economic language — markets, wages, rent, debt, inflation, growth, productivity — to ask what is really being protected, hidden, priced, sold, and sacrificed.This is not economics as a private language for experts. It is political economy for people who want to understand the world they are living in.www.wernermouton.com

Capitalism Is Not the Economy
Marx was not simply writing about economics. He was trying to understand capitalism as a historical system.In this episode, I look at why Marx refused to treat “the economy” as something natural, neutral, or timeless. Wages, profit, markets, growth, and competition are not just technical facts. They are social relations shaped by property, labor, class, law, and power.The episode asks what changes when we stop seeing capitalism as fate and begin seeing it as a human order: made through history, protected by institutions, and explained through the language of economics.Website: https://www.wernermouton.comFor more, join the community: https://www.patreon.com/wernermouton ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

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 ★
