#077 Show me the Money Derick!
This week I am delighted to welcome back C. Derick Varn to show. Derick, a regular guest, last appeared on the show on the Donald Trump Election special. I got quite a bit of feedback on that show, with a number of requests to get Derick back on the pod, to set him straight on MMT. What starts out as a feisty affair, eventually settles into a Marxist love-in, where we end up essentially agreeing about everything, and decide to get married. We also discuss the idea of a Church of Marx, something very dear to my heart.
The music on this episode was:
‘The Order of the Pharaonic Jesters’ by Sun Ra and his Arkestra‘Song no.1.’ by Sun Ra and his Arkestra
Enjoy!
