Ted is joined by historian Quinn Slobodian to discuss his latest book, &quot;Crack up Capitalism,&quot; including how his recent work on economic &quot;zones&quot; relates to his earlier thinking on neoliberalism and the tensions between capitalism and democracy. They also discuss the microstate of Lichtenstein and the rise of the far right in Germany.
