Money on the Left is a monthly, interdisciplinary podcast that reclaims money’s public powers for imaginative intersectional politics.

Hosting critical conversations with leading historians, theorists, organizers, and activists, the show develops insights from Modern Monetary Theory and constitutional approaches to money to advance new forms of left thinking and practice.

Money on the Left is the official podcast of the Modern Money Network’s Humanities Division. It is hosted by William Saas and Scott Ferguson and presented in partnership with Monthly Review magazine.
