To commemorate seven years of the podcast and four-hundred episodes, we got all our new Contributors in to examine the oppositions and tensions that we think will characterise the next decade. We say hello to Amber A'Lee Frost, Alex Gourevitch, Catherine Liu, and Leigh Phillips.

Here we are still arguing about China/Russia, Capitalism/Socialism, Israel/Palestine. Forget whether 'Neoliberalism' is over or not, it seems the Long Twentieth Century shows no signs of ending any time soon.
