Time To Say Goodbye - Neoliberalism’s end + “China”: Jake Werner
Hello from a Chinese ghost city!
It’s just Andy this week, speaking with my friend academic-activist Jake Werner (@jwdwerner) on how to make sense of the current ideological shift in US and global politics and especially the hostile rhetoric between US and Chinese elites.
(0:00) We talk about the recent spate of “big spending” bills pushed by Biden and the Democrats, supporting infrastructure (“hard” and “soft”) and industrial policy. Is this a break from “neoliberal” ideology? And also, what was “neoliberalism” about anyway?
(17:40) Some of the biggest proponents for new, big-government programs are also the loudest critics of China and Chinese competition. What’s going on with purported leftists who supported Bernie but are hawkish on China? And is that really so bad?
(45:40) We discuss a different way of thinking about China today on its own terms, reviewing its tumultuous 40-year encounter with a US-centered global system and what changed in 2008. How can we eschew approaches centered “national” and “cultural essence” and instead look at shared global dynamics between China, the US, and the rest of the world? (Jake outlined these ideas recently in this talk).
(1:13:20) Finally, Jake’s pitch for “progressive globalization,” something he is fighting for through his organization Justice is Global (along with friend of the show Tobita Chow!). Why is the US-China relationship so crucial for the next phase in world history, from climate change to Covid to equitable growth? What’s the response in DC? How can listeners become more active? (also: tankies catching strays)
Some pieces by Jake:
“Only the Left can Save Globalization Now,” with Eric Levitz, New York Magazine (2021)
“U.S.-China: Progressive Internationalist Strategy Under Biden” Rosa-Luxemburg Stiftung with Tobita Chow (2021)
“Why Confrontation With China Threatens the Progressive Agenda,” The Nation (2019)
“China is cheating at a rigged game,” Foreign Affairs (2018)
And recommended reading from Jake: “The US-China Rivalry Is About Capitalist Competition” by Ho-Fung Hung, Jacobin (2020)
note: I tried to edit out the sounds of sickness throughout, but some had to be left in, sorry! It’s not Covid, I swear!

Headlines From The Times - Back to school in the COVID-19 Delta era
Today we talk to L.A. Times education and science reporters about the full reopening of schools, which will affect millions of families in California and beyond. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mostly OKed this reopening, with the provision that everyone should mask up in schools and, if 12 or older, be vaccinated against COVID-19.
But what if your kids are younger than that? How about if they develop symptoms or come into contact with someone who tested positive for the coronavirus? What safety measures should schools be prioritizing?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S5 E10: Slater Victoroff, Indico
Slater Victoroff has had some pretty cool hobbies over his life. Though he claims to be a weird guy, he has a well rounded set activities. He is a vegan baker, which is half mad science, requiring the breakdown of recipes to the fundamentals of their elements. He is also a fiction writer, halfway through his second book (which he started during the pandemic). Along with that, he has pursued mastery in blacksmithing at one point in his life.
He had a short MMA career too, believe it or not - and has studied Yoshukai Karate for quite some time. Post high school, he was burnt out on academics... so he jumped head first into martial arts - spent time in Japan studying the craft, and did some MMA fights in LA. He has learned over the years that most tech people are typically afraid of being punched in the face.
He and his co-founders fell in love with the technology centered around intelligent process automation, which enables organizations to automate processes involving structured, semi-structured and unstructured document formats. Since 2014, they have been at the forefront of innovation in enterprise AI.
This is the creation story of Indico.
