The Shifting World: Class, Culture, and Capital

Show Notes

What draws some immigrant communities to political figures like Trump? How has capitalism reshaped our sense of self, safety, and society? Why do perceptions of violence and opportunity in the U.S. differ so drastically across the globe?

Ganesh Datta and Moore To Consider take on these urgent questions—and more—through a global lens. The conversation tackles everything from the hidden costs of economic decline in American towns to the real role of media in shaping public belief. How do class dynamics evolve in a globalized economy? What does self-sufficiency in defense and tech really mean for national security? And why are sports like cricket and baseball becoming cultural battlegrounds?

By weaving together history, politics, and culture, this episode challenges you to rethink power, perception, and the systems we take for granted.
