Listen "Some Things Should Not Exist"
Episode Synopsis
The podcast script from The Leftish Agenda, hosted by Eddie, critically examines the influence of billionaires on society across different domains—political, economic, social, and ethical. The episode unpacks the disproportionate influence the ultra-wealthy exert on policy through lobbying and campaign funding, and the negative economic repercussions facilitated by their monopolistic business practices and labor exploitation. The podcast also discusses social inequality, specifically examining access to quality education and healthcare among different income brackets. Furthermore, it delves into economic instability caused by wealth hoarding and disinvestment in productive assets and ends discussing the moral dimensions of billionaire philanthropy and the cultural agency of the super-rich. Throughout, the podcast underscores the continued struggle for a truthful, distributed societal structure.
