Brazilian Panel - Versus Book Club

Sabrina Fernades, Alex Hochuli, and Ben Fogel join us for a major overview and analysis of the state of the Brazilian election. Will Lula pull off his comeback? What would that mean for working class politics in Brazil?

Finally, Jen Pan and Cale Brooks discusses some more recent studies on the deprivation of the white working class and why the left should focus on their issues.
