Beatrice and Tracy speak with Bench Ansfield about their new book charting the rise of the FIRE economy (finance, insurance, real estate) in the 1970s and how this new evolution of racial capitalism led landlords to set fire to their own buildings in the Bronx and throughout the US, placing the blame on—and pathologizing—the very tenants they were dispossessing.

Beatrice is joined by Sam Kelly of the Red Medicine to discuss how the politics of Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) evolved under the neoliberal turn and what the recently released NHS 10 year plan tells us about the future of health struggle not just in Britain but internationally, promising as it does to make the NHS “the most AI enabled care system in the world” and to transform it “into an engine for economic growth, rather than a beneficiary of it.”
