James Wilt: How Capitalists Caused an Alcohol Health Crisis

In this episode James Wilt explains how alcohol corporations have caused and profited from a health crisis relating to drinking. He explains how capitalist accumulation and expansion has caused a health crisis that disproportionally effects working class, racialized and colonized communities internationally.

We also discuss how the left need to balance the complex harms caused by the corporate alcohol industry with people’s real desire for collective pleasure.

James Wilt is a freelance journalist, PhD student, and the author of two books, firstly Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars? Public Transit in the Age of Google, Uber, and Elon Musk published in 2020. And more recently Drinking Up the Revolution: How to Smash Big Alcohol and Reclaim Working-Class Joy which was published by Repeater Books in the summer of last year.
