305 - A Simple Plan feat. Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski (4/11/19)

We're joined by Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski, authors of the new book "The People's Republic of Walmart," to discuss how mega-corporations like Walmart and Amazon function as planned economies, and how we as socialists can apply what we learn from them to problems from health care to climate change.
