Golden Gulag: Prisons and Crisis in California — The Prison System as Economic Management
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Ruth Wilson Gilmore
This episode explores Golden Gulag: Prisons and Crisis in California by Ruth Wilson Gilmore as a systems-level analysis of how carceral expansion influences belief, governance, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
