Summary
Touré Reed and Adolph Reed discuss their new article in Socialist Register, how the project of racial justice became unmoored from political economy in the postwar era, and how this disconnect continues to shape our understandings of race and inequality today.
The Jacobin Show offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the podcast version of the show from December 7, 2021 with Jen Pan and Ariella Thornhill hosting.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Jacobin Show. I'm Jen Pan here with Ariela Thornhill, |
| 0:24.2 | who I realized is wearing a striped shirt as MI. We didn't plan this, but not at all. We just |
| 0:32.6 | vibe like that. Yeah. True. Ariela, what's going on? I'm happy to be back on the show more consistently. |
| 0:41.8 | As sad as my segment is going to be this episode. But yeah, I mean, I think we've got a lot to go over |
| 0:50.9 | and a lot of things kind of pending that the left is going to have to deal with, including the |
| 0:56.4 | looming eviction crisis, massive, massive amounts of debt for people who haven't been paying, right? |
| 1:02.8 | But their rent has been racking up. It's not probably not going to be forgiven. So we've got a lot to, |
| 1:09.8 | you know, focus on going forward. And I think that this episode will be illuminating to some of the |
| 1:15.3 | ideological underpinnings about what need is who's deserving of help, who's deserving of forgiveness, |
| 1:22.8 | and then more particularly like the kind of neoliberal ideology of race and the way that that's |
| 1:28.4 | going to play into those conversations going forward. I'm sure as everybody saw from the video |
| 1:34.8 | title and description, our guests tonight are Adolf and Tuarei Reed. We got both of the reads |
| 1:40.8 | on the show tonight, which is always exciting. They've been on separately in the past. But they |
| 1:46.4 | have recently co-authored a new article for the socialist register titled The Evolution of Race |
| 1:52.4 | and Racial Justice Under Neoliberalism. So they'll be kind of breaking that down for us, |
| 1:57.2 | talking about some of the themes you mentioned Ariela. And I'm really excited to talk to them. |
| 2:01.1 | They're always great. Yeah, me too. I'm excited that we're going to get a double read show today. |
| 2:06.7 | A double read show, exactly. It's what our fans have been asking for. I'm imagining. |
| 2:13.6 | Everybody likes the reads. Everybody likes Tuarei. Everybody likes Adolf. We get such good feedback |
| 2:19.9 | whenever they've been on separately. So I only imagine that the combined power of both professor |
| 2:24.5 | reads will be totally overwhelming. Yeah, the mega read show. The mega read show. All right, |
| 2:30.9 | well, you know, I think we should save most of our discussion for the reads. So we'll dive into |
