About this listen

 Sarah and Max try and figure out why everyone is so obsessed with (mis)counting babies. Of course, we talk about capitalism, imperialism, patriarchy and much more. Here's what set us off: "The Birth-Rate Crisis Isn’t as Bad as You’ve Heard—It’s Worse" in The Atlantic. "How does Low Fertility Affect Economic Growth, Worldwide?" in Rocking our Priors podcast **** THOUGHTSNACK is an occasional podcast from Sense & Solidarity where Sarah Stein Lubrano and Max Haiven explore the big ideas that make and break our world.
