On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Robert Hockett, Edward Cornell Professor of Law and Public Policy and an adviser to Democrats such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Elizabeth Warren. He discusses the rise of de-dollarization as a consequence of the war in Ukraine, the potential for an autarkic trading bloc rising out of the BRICS and why he argues for an autarkic US economy. Afshin Rattansi also questions him on whether ‘progressive’ Democrats such as AOC and Elizabeth Warren actually have been progressive in office.
