[B-Side Teaser] Zohran, DSA, and Democratic Socialist Strategy

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Daniel Wortel-London on strategies for democratic socialism and advice for Mayor Mamdani.

In this week's B-Side, I continue my conversation with Daniel Wortel-London, author of ˆThe Menace of Prosperity: New York City and the Struggle for Economic Development, 1865–1981. We discuss what he would do if he could give advice to Mayor Mamdani: public banking, developing an inside-outside strategy, linking up with social movements and much more. We discuss DSA, co-ops, and all kinds of policies and strategies being utilized by democratic socialists worldwide. This a free teaser of the full episode.
