Downstream: What's The Real Point of Trump's Tariffs? w/ Slavoj Žižek
Donald Trump has been ripping up the rule book on global trade, implementing huge tariffs and sending markets into a frenzy. But is there any method in his apparent madness? Legendary Marxist philosopher Slavoj Žižek regales Aaron with his thoughts on US trade policy – not to mention Franz Kafka, fully automated luxury communism and whether he's a "GILF". Žižek's new book, Zero Point, is out now on Bloomsbury. Help us build people-powered media: http://novara.media/support
