Summary
A World to Win is a new podcast from Grace Blakeley and Tribune bringing you a weekly dose of socialist news, theory and action with guests from around the world. This week, Grace talks to Meagan Day – staff writer at Jacobin and co-author of Bigger than Bernie: How we go from the Sanders Campaign to Democratic Socialism – about the US presidential election, the economic and environmental crises currently sweeping through America and the future of the Left after Bernie.
Meagan discusses her path into politics, how Bernie Sanders won her over to socialism and why she thinks class politics are still the answer for the world’s foremost capitalist state. She also explores inequality and the changing world of work in a time of Covid-19.
