S1 Ep6: Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow

In this episode of the Political Economists Podcast, Max and Jorrel discuss Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. For many who haven't read the New Jim Crow, the Jim Crow Laws refer to the disenfranchisement of Black Americans through segregation and unequal treatment after freedom from slavery. The New Jim Crow, which the two discuss, refers to the mass incarceration and prison system of the 21st century that unequivocally targets Black Americans and subjugates them to the same injustices in what is akin to modern slavery.
