The Political Economy of Prisons w/ Adam Elliot Cooper

The Political Economy of Prisons w/ Adam Elliot Cooper

By Planet B Productions

On this week's Macrodose, Adam Elliot Cooper takes a close look at prisons. What can we learn when we begin to think about the prison through an economic lens? What is the role of mass incarceration in our economy? And what can the relationship between crime and capitalism tell us about the world we are living in today?

Adam Elliot-Cooper is a lecturer in public and social policy at Queen Mary University, London. He is also the author of Black Resistance to British Policing tinyurl.com/54e5yhsn and co-author of Empire’s Endgame: Racism and the British State tinyurl.com/2nb77awb
