Gregg Clunis
About this episode

Are you tired of feeling like a cog in the machine, working hard every day just to scrape by while those at the top reap all the benefits? It's not just your imagination - the balance of power between capital and labor is heavily skewed in favor of capital. But why is this the case, and what can we do about it?

In this episode, we'll explore the reasons why capital holds all the power and why labor has been duped into believing that capital is more valuable. We'll delve into the concept of class consciousness and discuss how we can work towards a more equitable balance of power between capital and labor.

Whether you're a worker struggling to make ends meet or simply interested in understanding the forces that shape our economy and society, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how we can all work towards a better future for workers everywhere.
