It was a pleasure to be joined on the tortoise shack by North Colorado University Prof of Economics and finance, Constantin Gurdgiev. This podcast was recorded a few weeks ago for our patreon members, but it's too good not to share. We discuss how the world has changed since we last talked on the shack, over 600 episodes ago. Constantin delves into the political polarisation that makes consensus impossible and asks how do we deal with threats like pandemics and climate change within a financialised orthodoxy. We also talk housing, known unknowns, vulture funds and more.

If you are a patreon stay tuned at the end for a chat about the political economics of Barry's Tea.
