America has long been called the land of the free, yet more often than not it fails to deliver. The ascension of corporate hegemony has created a culture premised on market logics, which has led to the social hierarchy and violence evocative of an authoritarian society. Through a careful analysis of scholarly literature, Ilana, Andrea, and Ryan enumerate the drastic consequences of unregulated neoliberal capitalism; explore corporate practices, the structure of the healthcare system, and digital democracy; and discuss what it means to be alive in a time when profit is valued above people.
It’s no secret that the US healthcare system is crumbling. In Episode 3, we discuss the perils of neoliberalism for citizens’ health (especially during a pandemic) and grapple with questions like: How does neoliberalism erode both health and care infrastructures? And what can we do about it??

If Not Us...
analyzing the past, understanding the present, saving our future
In Principium episode one, “If Not Us…”, we discuss the history of education, the necessity of knowledge, and how creating a well educated population is the key to a prosperous society. Through personal anecdotes and thoughts, we offer our ideas for a brighter education system. All of this is in hopes of creating a population that will change unsustainable consumption habits, become appropriately engaged in civic responsibilities, and focus on curing metaphorical illnesses instead of only addressing the symptoms.
