Jacobin Show: Identity Politics in Our Gilded Age w/ Matt Karp

Every Wednesday at 6 PM ET, Jen Pan, Ariella Thornhill, and Paul Prescod host a new episode of The Jacobin Show, offering socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the episode from April 21, 2021, hosted by Jen and Paul.

Historian Matt Karp joins us to discuss how and why identity politics surface during eras of extreme economic inequality in the US, and the different schools of left-wing history.
