Postcapitalism Podcast

Melissa Kennedy on literary economics, fan fiction, and the idea "there is no alternative"

In this episode, we’ll be discussing how the economy is not just numbers and people buying and selling things, but a story we tell ourselves. And by changing this story, we can change our lives, and begin to tackle problems like climate change, inequality, and social isolation.

Our guest is Melissa Kennedy, who teaches at the University of Vienna and the University of Education Upper Austria. We'll be talking about everything from hidden economic narratives to romance and the enduring nature of the American Dream.
