Why are social programs slashed while big banks get blank checks? In this episode, we dive into The Bailout State with author Martijn Konings to uncover the political economy behind financial bailouts and austerity. Konings reveals how government guarantees and monetary policy create a system that rewards asset holders and tightens the screws on working people.
