Episode 26: Cold War Legacies Roundtable
https://soundcloud.com/user-526344395/episode-26-cold-war-legacies-roundtable Join us as we talk about the legacies of Cold War history on our present world. We chat about what is happening both between the Capitalist West and Communist Bloc, and the anti-colonial to postcolonial global struggles. We talk power, gender structures and identities, economics, ideas of left vs right, nationalism, the Non-Aligned Movement, shifting alliances, and the propagandistic triumph of neoliberal capitalism coupled bound by right-wing nationalism. We look to the rise of the hard-right in the wake of the Cold War.
Is there books to read to know more? That's a really good point, listener. Yes, they are!

Post Reply"the propagandistic triumph of neoliberal capitalism"?
I sense that is not the only "propagandistic" thing about this podcast. It is worth pointing out that in this age of "neoliberal capitalism," the spread of human betterment to vast, formerly famine-endangered regions in Asia and other parts of the world has advanced more rapidly than at any time before in history. (See the work of Angus Maddison on this.) I wonder if the springs of that development, which is a fundamental feature of the modern world, are considered here. They should be.
Guess you'll have to listen to it and respond.
