During Tuesday's Democratic Primary debate, Anderson Cooper asked Bernie Sanders if he thought it was possible for an anti-capitalist socialist to be President of the United States. In this episode, Walker and Professor Dungey dissect Mr. Cooper's deeply misinformed description/question and demonstrate how the United States has transformed beyond the traditional definitions and uses of the terms socialism and capitalism.  

After years of intense negotiations, the United States and ten other countries have reached an agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP is the largest regional trade agreement in history and it will create the largest free-trade alliance in the world. It will also accelerate a series of economic and political changes that are re-writing the global economic, legal, and political reality. Make no mistake, whether you agree or not, the TPP is another step in the re-creation of trans-national economic and political processes and institutions. In this podcast, Professor Dungey and Walker place the TPP in a deeper historical and theoretical context. This is critical information.
