“There’s a big question here as to how we go from a world where only merchants can seek respite from being attacked and hounded by their creditors by appealing to this mechanism called bankruptcy to one where nations are invaded over default.”

Great episode.

I had an excellent conversation with @edjonesc.bsky.social on the podcast this month about his new book. What I especially appreciate in Ed's work is his attention to how religious values & theological debates play constitutive roles in the history of political economy. Check it out!

Why do insolvent investors have more rights than insolvent nations? And what has religion got to do with debt?

Check out my chat with Scott and Money on the Left - this one was a lot of fun! And follow @moneyontheleft.bsky.social for their thought-provoking content
