On today's episode I talk to the founder of Jacobin Magazine Bhaskar Sunkara. Bhaskar is the son of immigrants from Trinidad and Tobago, and has written for a number of publications including Vice magazine, the Washington Post and The Nation.

Bhaskar also started a book imprint called Jacobin Books in partnership with Verso Books and Random House.
