Norrskenet – en idépodd Produceras av tidningen Flamman

I dag ska vi prata medelklass! Gruppen som alla älskar att hata och hatar att älska, som politikerna slåss om vid varje val, men som däremellan får utstå ständig kritik från höger och vänster.

Och ingen i Sverige kan mer om medelklassen än Lovisa Broström, ekonomihistoriker vid Göteborgs universitet och aktuell med boken Medelklassen: 200 år i samhällets mitt.

Samtalet leds av Flammans chefredaktör Leonidas Aretakis. Om du gillar podden får du gärna prenumerera på tidningen:

This time, our editor Leonidas Aretakis talks to the political philosopher Greg Yudin about the opposition in Russia, what the population actually thinks about the war, and how Russia might be Europe’s most advanced country – but not in a good way.

Veckans gäst är statsvetaren Niklas Altermark, som ska leda Sveriges nästa välfärdsutredning. Är Sverige så fattigt att vi inte har råd med välfärd längre?

”Norrskenet” är en idépodd av Flamman, Sveriges socialistiska veckotidning. Programledare är chefredaktör Leonidas Aretakis.

This week's guest is sociologist Steaphanie Mudge. In her book ”Leftism reinvented”, she showed how four centre-left parties – the US Democrats, British Labour, and the German and Swedish Social Democrats – went from socialist agitation to neoliberal market appeasement.

My guest this week is Samuel Moyn, history professor at Yale, and the author of several books on the history of human rights. We talked about his internship at the White House, his gradual disillusionment with American foreign policy, and how humanitarian arguments have been used to make aggressions by great powers seem like they are in the interest of humanity.
