In this thought-provoking episode of Mark and Pete, we explore three very different but equally fascinating stories shaping headlines in 2025. First, Britain has officially scrapped the 200-year-old Vagrancy Act, sparking a national debate: will this compassionate move address homelessness or simply lead to an explosion of tent cities in UK towns and cities? We unpack the political, social, and biblical implications of this controversial decision. Next, we pay tribute to Brian Wilson, the legendary co-founder of The Beach Boys, who passed away at 82. From Good Vibrations to God Only Knows, Wilson redefined pop music with his innovative harmonies and studio wizardry while battling personal demons. We reflect on his extraordinary musical legacy and enduring spiritual themes found in his work. Finally, we lighten the mood with the wonderfully eccentric Lambeth Country Show, where British humour is on full display. This year's viral vegetable carvings — including “Papal Corn Clave” and “Mo Salad” — offer a welcome dose of joyful absurdity. As always, Mark and Pete bring Scripture, wit, and common sense to the week's news — offering a unique Christian perspective on the stories behind the headlines.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.
In 1552, a lexicographer gave us the word “noctivagation” which means walking around at night. The word itself was a legal term for Shakespeare's lifetime, used to describe someone that wandered around at night without any particular purpose. Vagrancy, on the whole, was frowned upon for Shakespeare's lifetime, but vagrancy at night was viewed with extreme suspicion. In fact, walking around at night illegitimately was so bad that in his play King Lear, Shakespeare implies that the poster boy for night walkers is Satan himself. This negative understanding of nightwalkers gets confusing though, when we consider Falstaff in Henry IV talks about walking from tavern to tavern at night with Bardolph, and mentions it as fun, certainly not anything they were worried about, and other period references from the 16th century talk about Link Boys, who were young boys paid to escort travelers as night while carrying a torch to light the way. What does this mean about travelling at night in a city like London? Were there legitimate reasons to be out after dark, and what options were available for creating artificial light prior to the advent of the light bulb? Here today to answer these questions and introduce us to the concept of night walkers, and night lights, for Shakespeare's lifetime is our guest, Matthew Beaumont.

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were a Sixties supercharged couple in an era of supercharged couples. As a pairing they were fantasy figures, impossibly desirable. Liz supple and soft, in perfumes and furs - yet with something demonic and lethal about her. Dick, in turn, with his ravaged, handsome face, looked as though lit by silver moonlight - poised to turn into a wolf. Roger Lewis uses this glamorous and damaged pair as the starting point to tell the story of an age of excess: the freaks and groupies, the private jets and jewels and the yachts sailing in an azure sea; the magnificent bad taste and greed. It is about the clash of worlds: the filth and decay of South Wales and the grandeur and elegance of Old Hollywood; the fantasies we have about film stars and the fantasies the Burtons had about each other.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/writers-on-film.

A battle over homelessness is heating up between a tenant and landlord in Denver's Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhood.In September 2021, Seattle-based Unico bought the five-story building on the corner of 18th and Blake streets. 7-Eleven had been a tenant of that building for more than a decade. Shortly after the purchase, according to 7-Eleven, Unico claimed the convenience store on the ground floor was attracting vagrants, making other workers in the building feel unsafe.This week, 7-Eleven's corporate office filed a lawsuit against Unico, claiming the building owner broke the lease agreement when it charged the store thousands of dollars for security over these so-called vagrancy issues.Support the show
On this episode, were were joined by celebrated British cultural biographer Roger Lewis, who's latest book, Erotic Vagrancy, is an extravagant, decade-in-the-making portrait of the ultimate love-hate relationship – the marriage of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. In our conversation, Roger lays bare everything that made these two such an endless subject of fascination for the public; their cinematic successes and more legendary flops; Burton's place in the West End firmament; and of course, their legendary addictions, punch-ups, divorces, hospital bills, and stays in Rome, Paris, New York, London, where chaos followed wherever they went. Roger also spoke to us about his lifelong obsession with British pop culture, having authored biographies of Peter Sellers, Peter O'Toole, and Charles Hawtrey, and why these subjects remain essential to understanding our shared cultural history – and his opinion, should probably be taught at Sixth Form.
Matt engages in a profound conversation with Matt Downie MBE, Chief Executive of Crisis, the national charity for homeless people. Together, they delve into Matt's role as a dedicated advocate for change, exploring how his diverse experiences across prominent organisations have deepened his understanding of the multifaceted issues surrounding homelessness and social injustices. The discussion delves into critical topics such as homelessness, rough sleeping, and the intersectionality of issues like sex work, shedding light on the urgent need for more affordable housing and comprehensive support systems.Matt also gives his candid thoughts into the persistent challenges posed by rogue landlords and examines the historical and contemporary relevance of the 1824 Vagrancy Act.The Believe in people podcast explores addiction, recovery and stigma.

Migratory bird vagrancy is not a phrase you may ponder often, but it happens, and especially during solar storms which disrupt the Earth's magnetosphere. What else does space weather get up to?
The woke Ninth Circuit has outdone itself. The homeless may now sleep and relieve themselves anywhere they want, if the number of homeless in a city exceeds the number of shelter beds – EVEN IF THERE ARE EMPTY BEDS BECAUSE THE HOMELESS DON'T WANT ‘EM.
For most of Canada's history, vagrancy was a criminal offence. While the wording of the vagrancy laws changed from time to time. As of 1972, there were two different forms of vagrancy. The first form of vagrancy made it a criminal offence to beg or be found in a public place without apparent means of support. The second form of vagrancy prohibited people convicted of sexual offences from loitering near parks, playgrounds, school yards or public parks. The case that ultimately determined the second type of vagrancy was unconstitutional arose from Beacon Hill Park in Victoria. It involved a man previously convicted of sexual offences involving children being found twice near a playground in the park. The man had a camera with a telephoto lens. When he was arrested for vagrancy, the camera was seized. When the film was developed, it included pictures focusing on the "crotch area of young girls playing in the park with their clothing in disarray."A five-four majority of the Supreme Court of Canada found the second form of vagrancy unconstitutional because it was overly broad. Vagrancy was subsequently removed from the Criminal Code.Also on the show: a report from the Judicial Council of BC indicated a dwindling number of applications for jobs as a Provincial Court Judge in British Columbia. From an average of 37 applications per year, in 2022, only 23 people applied. Why are potential candidates shying away? Is it because of the less than satisfactory remuneration? For over a decade, the BC provincial government has repeatedly overruled decisions of an independent commission that is supposed to set the salaries for judges. We draw parallels between the earnings of these judges and those of family doctors and other government officials. Also on the show is an exploration of the duty-to-defend clause in insurance contracts. Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Finding birds in places where you shouldn't expect to find them if certainly one of the more exciting aspects of birding. In fact, it might well be the reason for the American Birding Association's very existence. The unpredictability, the excitement, the community that builds around these sorts of birds are certainly appealing even the mechanisms that bring them to these places are not always known. Alex Lees is a senior researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University and, along with James Gilroy, the author of Vagrancy in Birds, which attempts to answer some of those questions of how and why vagrancy is so prevalent in birds. He joins me to talk about this ever-fascinating topic Also, a sad end to Monty and Rose, and a happy beginning for their offspring.

Last week, our birder Alain Clavette dove into the topic of vagrants. The rare birds that birders in this province get all excited to see aren't always that rare - its just that it's somewhere it shouldn't be. A new book called Vagrancy in Birds explains all of this. Today, Alain is back with more of his conversation with the authors of that book.
Rare birds are really just birds that aren't where they are supposed to be. Wildlife experts call them vagrants. Our birder Alain Clavette spoke with the authors of a new book called Vagrancy in Birds - he tells us all about it.

Author Kyerra Johnson-Massey was born and raised in East St. Louis, IL, also known as “The City of Champions” - a small city across from its neighboring city, Saint Louis, MO separated by the Mississippi River. In 1917, a Race Riot took place and a reported 250 or more African American lives were lost followed by a mass migration and burning of the area. The Race riots, much like the traumatic past Kyerra would suffer witnessing the homicide - suicide of her parents, a story that shook Kyerra and changed her future forever. But much like East St. Louis, Kyerra is a phoenix reborn and an unlikely beacon of hope. Her latest book, “The Journal of African American Thoughts” (scheduled to be released on Juneteenth, June 19th) gives vivid details on the thoughts behind racial acts in the United States of America against African Americans. The history can be told by many but the emotions behind the history is what makes this book a canvas of thoughts to step into. Vagrancy, Juneteenth, Mass Incarceration are all names mentioned in this book and the past that haunts our present years as African Americans in the United States. There is an element of hope behind each story; the hope is, after reading each story, the reader learns the truth behind the words of systemic racism and how together we can change our future by understanding our past. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michelle-denise-jackson/message

You contribute to homelessness. I do too. The problem goes right through real estate. Factors include: NIMBYism, minimum wage, salamanders, smoke detectors, and rent control. (Complete transcript on homelessness segment below.) Then, Chicago is a world class city with lots of economic diversification. Chicagoland’s numbers make sense for real estate investors. In northwestern Indiana (suburban Chicago), you avoid the high cost of Illinois property. A typical SFH has $1,350 rent and a $125,000 purchase price.

I’m your host, Keith Weinhold, with a two-part show. Real estate is a substantial input into homelessness. Why are people homeless - and why might you & I be partly RESPONSIBLE for it, in fact? The second part - in general, world class cities don’t make any sense to invest in for cash flow - New York, LA, DC, London, Singapore … but we’re going to discuss one “world class” city that actually DOES. Today, on Get Rich Education. __________________ Here it is - hey! You’re inside GRE. From Sarasota, Florida to Sarajevo - in Bosnia and Herzegovina - and across 188 nations worldwide. I’m Keith Weinhold, this is Get Rich Education. Even in the affluent United States, there is a large and growing population of vagrants - homeless people … more than half a million of them … and you & I … unknowingly play a role in keeping them homeless. Why are people homeless? Well, the #1 reason is real estate-related. So that’s why I’m talking about it in the first of two show segments here. Let’s look at the Top 5 cited reasons that people are homeless. 5th most common - Substance abuse - drugs. 4th - Mental illness. 3rd - Poverty ...OK, that’s sort of an obvious one. 2nd - Unemployment 1st - Lack of affordable housing Lack of affordable housing is the #1 reason that people are homeless. Well, one mission here at GRE is that we PROVIDE society with affordable housing. But, it’s generally not the same kind of Class D, lowest-end housing that there is - and that homeless people are looking to get into. We focus on properties just below the median housing price in some of the lower-cost U.S. metros - B-class and C-Class. That’s a notch or two above where those on the brink of homelessness would be. The homeless population is more visible in my own home city since the pandemic - and perhaps yours too … now that the unemployment rate is 10%. I’m going to tell you what contributes to homelessness - and a lot of this has to do with real estate: contributors are carbon monoxide detectors, minimum wage, salamanders, NIMBYism, and over the long term: rent control. Now, before we unpack that. Let’s define homelessness. One of the better accepted definitions is - a condition where people lack "a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence". That’s “homelessness defined”. I think you & I can agree that “homeless” is not the best technical term - right? Because even if someone lives under a bridge, that IS their home. Houselessness would actually be more accurate. Vagrancy is an even better way to say it. A vagrant is a person without a settled home or regular work who wanders from place to place and lives by begging. That’s what we’re really talking about here. But homelessness is the widely understood term, so I’m going to it. Now, HUD - the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has a lot of statistics on the homeless, and ... … as of 2018, they reported there were roughly 553,000 homeless people in the United States on a given night,[2] or nearly two-tenths of 1% of the population. That’s about 1 in 500 Americans then. Well, many people - me included - believe that the real number of homeless is greater than this 553,000. In fact, private & local reports tell you that the homelessness have increased 40% per annum in recent years - yeah, 40% per year! A big mistake is that people think about the homeless as all one type. But there are so many different types of homeless. There are the temporary homeless - passing through that 553,000 number. Some are voluntarily homeless. Others are really couch-surfing because perhaps they were in a divorce or domestic violence situation. Then you need to realize that about 2/3rd of their population is sheltered, and ⅓ unsheltered. Consider too, that there are at least 40,000 homeless veterans. To think that a person could have served this country - and maybe even risked their life for this country - but don’t have a home in this country … can be heartbreaking to think about. Now, though I’m not sure, I don’t believe that a digital nomad would be considered among the homeless - the laptop entrepreneur that stays at a different AirBnB location, say monthly. Before we bring in the real estate angle, let’s get some historical context. Just talking about the U.S. here ... Homelessness emerged as a national issue in the 1870s.[6] Early homeless people lived in emerging urban cities, like New York City. Into the 20th century, the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a substantial rise in unemployment and related social issues and distress and homelessness. In the 21st century the financial crisis of 2008 and resulting economic stagnation and downturn has been a major driving factor and contributor to rising homelessness rates. That is probably happening again, right now, in the COVID pandemic. A Zillow report found that people in communities where the average renter spends more than 30 percent of their income on rent — meaning that they can be described as being “rent-burdened” — are particularly vulnerable to rapid increases in homelessness rates. Eviction obviously creates homelessness. Now, some naively think - can’t we just raise taxes to build permanent housing for them & move them all in there? I really doubt that that’s a viable long-term solution. Because at some point, if taxpayer funded housing is just “provided” for people, then people don’t have incentive to work & pay the rent. That’s in general. Right, maybe someone has a disability that prevents them from making a living. Some think - maybe we SHOULD impose rent control. Rent control means capping the amount of rent that a landlord can charge. I’ll tell ya - that could reduce the number of homeless people in some areas that HAVE enough housing. But long-term, rent control is a terrible plan. Because now an income property owner like you has zero incentive to improve the property any longer. Long-term, rent controlled areas fall into serious dilapidation. And because homelessness is concentrated in inner cities. It’s those exact same big cities - like New York - that have tried rent control. It doesn’t work. So many areas that have tried to impose it, have to repeal it, because it eventually turns areas into ghettos. What if you own property in an area where rent control were imposed? Even if you did improve your property - not only would you NOT get more rent for it - but you had better believe that property owners all around you wouldn’t be improving their property … and the entire condition of the neighborhood would be on a loooong downhill slide. You might remember that I devoted an episode to the rent control topic. You can look that up on Get Rich Education Episode 192 if you’re further interested there. One factor that contributes to higher housing costs - which prices people out of having any shelter and creates more homeless people are … environmental regulations that limit development in certain areas. Sometimes you need to leave a development buffer for streams or you can’t build in areas that are wetlands in order to protect flora and fauna. A rare orchid, or a spotted salamander or a threatened egret or an endangered heron. They say, you can’t build in their critical habitat areas. You’ve got to protect them. But yet, often, the same type of people that want more environmental regulations are the same people that say that they want more affordable housing options. Well, when you limit where you can build, now you’ve reduced the housing supply. Real estate pricing is highly susceptible to supply/demand factors, of course. All these wildlife protections limit supply. That makes prices go up. That prices people out. Now, maybe you’re thinking I’m anti-environmentalist? No, I’m not taking a side either way. It’s just that one needs to understand the cost and the longer-term ramifications of decisions that limit development in protecting the spotted salamander. I think it’s easy to make a case that more biodiversity is better than less biodiversity. But the better question is: “At what cost should we protect species? How far do we take it?” Environmental regulations in the United States are intended to improve the quality of the environment; preserve ecosystems - that includes wildlife; and protect human health too. But these regulations are often written without considering how much they will cost. Another contributor to homelessness is excessive safety regulations. Again, some safety regulations are good. But how far do we take it? My gosh, when an area needs to build more affordable housing for people - which is something that would reduce the homeless rate … and ... Sheesh, a new home today might need fourteen smoke detectors and five carbon monoxide detectors … then the detectors need to be connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other … and all these devices and this added complexity increases the cost of housing. That makes mortgage payments higher, rent payments higher, and it just prices more people out of the real estate market. The lower end of the income spectrum gets priced out of affordable shelter. I’m not anti-safety. But at some point, one has got to ask the question, “How much safety do we really need?” Even - “What is the cost of a human life?” There actually is an answer to that question. In fact, the EPA pegs the cost of a human life at $10M - one of the highest of any federal agency. And then, there’s the entire question of how can you ever monetize the value of a human life. You can make the case … that it’s priceless. That’s a different discussion. But the point is, all these safety regulations increase the cost of housing and increase homelessness. Minimum wage does, in many instances, increase homelessness long-term. This might come as a surprise to you. You would think that raising the minimum wage would have to DE-crease homelessness - because a higher wage would mean that low-income workers could now afford housing. Well, long-term, besides higher wages in an area creating inflation & soon making the cost of everything go UP - including housing … Think about it from the perspective of if you’re an employer & you have to pay your workers a higher wage - now that minimum wage is higher. If someone that works for you makes $9 an hour - but they only produce $12 an hour worth of productivity for you... And a new minimum wage of $15 an hour is implemented, you’re losing money if you retain that worker. So you would lay them off. You would find ways to automate - or make a machine do the work that that employee used to do for you. That layoff increases homelessness. Just look at the number of self-serve checkout kiosks in grocery stores. Those lanes used to be staffed by humans that earned a wage. With a hike in the minimum wage up to $15 an hour, you’d begin to see a trend where more fast-food restaurants have self-serve kiosks. You’ll have fewer humans there. That’s because some employers can’t afford to pay people $15 an hour. Every self-serve digital kiosk that you see represents a laid-off worker. Talk to your parents or grandparents and they’ll tell you that gas stations used to be attended by humans that would pump your gas for you, check your tire pressure, check your fluid levels - that’s been gone for a couple generations. Now, an increase in the minimum wage would help get some people out of homelessness short-term … yes. I’m giving you insight so that you can see both sides & see the long-term consequences of government intervention into the free market. Let’s say that you’re an employer at a warehouse, the minimum wage is $15 an hour and you want to hire someone to help you sweep floors & do odd maintenance jobs around this warehouse that you own. Well, now it’s illegal for you to hire them at $12 an hour. You’d love to give a kid a job and help him learn - and you can’t make the numbers work at $15 an hour. So now he’s unemployed because the government said, “No. You can’t hire him at $12 an hour.” That’s what a $15 minimum wage says. Try looking at it from that angle. Another phenomenon that keeps people homeless is NIMBY - Not In My Backyard. NIMBYists are the ones that say, “No, I don’t want you to build low-cost housing in my neighborhood, because I’m afraid that it’s going to ruin the character of my neighborhood and it’ll stifle the rate of home appreciation here.” Lafayette, California is a wealthy San Francisco suburb. It is nestled in Contra Costa County, where its residents fight to stop what they call a "very urban," "unsightly" 315-unit housing development It was recently profiled by The New York Times. Over in the suburban community of Cupertino, California—we’re talking Silicon Valley now—local activists spent years trying to stop the development of an abandoned mall into apartments, half of which would be rented out to lower-income tenants at below-market rates. In Berkeley, California, activists often argue against new housing on the grounds that it will threaten their community's sustainable character. Well, what is another example of NIMBYism? At a recent Zoning Adjustment Board Meeting in Berkeley, I think one resident summarized NIMBYism really well - and this was published in the New York Times - they said "Berkeley needs to prioritize a livable, sustainable environment for people who already live here” … … when they were opposing a 57-unit development of student housing. They went on to say: "We are not obligated to sacrifice what is best about Berkeley to build dorm rooms." That’s the end of what they said. NIMBY - this “Not in My Backyard” opposition to new housing development - centers on concerns of property values and crime and gentrification and environmental sustainability. Even though it’s often not their intent, the result of NIMBYism is that less housing gets built, housing costs go up and homelessness … rises. So, let’s draw some conclusions here and look at some actionable ways that you can make things better. Though it isn’t immediately apparent - carbon monoxide detectors, minimum wage, salamanders & egrets, rent control, and NIMBYism - all go right through the heart of real estate investing and contribute to the long-term cycle of homelessness. A giant takeaway for you here, is that, what is the common denominator in ALL of these factors. There is one common theme. You know what that is - it is Government intervention. Government intervention and interference in the free market - is the contributor here - excessive safety, minimum wage, protecting salamanders & egrets, rent control, and NIMBYism. Every single one of them. And now, maybe if you’re a new Get Rich Education listener - especially - you might be wondering, am I some anti-government guy where I think that the answer to EVERYTHING is free market economics. Well, though I think that less government would be better. I’ll tell you that SOME government regulation is good - just less than what we have now. For example, look at all the smoky, hazy pollution in Pittsburgh, PA in the 1970s. It was a hazard to your health just to walk Pittsburgh then. You might have heard about this: famously, in the summer of 1969 - An oil slick in Ohio’s Cuyuhoga River caught on fire. Companies were committing rampant pollution such that it was a hazard to human health. Well, government regulations like the Federal Clean Water Act Of 1972 helped to clean that up. So, that regulation helped. Government has a role, but it’s often overly intrusive. When it comes to you helping the homeless directly, I like the campaign slogan that says, “Give real change, not small change.” That means, don’t give money directly to panhandlers on the street. Where do you think that your goes then? Probably straight to cheap monarch vodka in those plastic bottles. Also, if you don’t want to see homeless people in your neighbourhood, don’t give to them if they’re on your city’s street corner - like they are mine - because you’ve just given them an incentive to show up there again & do the same thing. So instead of small change, give real change. When you donate to your local homeless shelter or soup kitchen, your money is going to do MORE REAL GOOD for the homeless. It’s going to provide them with shelter, or educational resources, or a computer so that they might be able to apply for a job. That’s real change. You want to help the homeless? I think that’s great. That’s kind. Give real change, not small change. When it comes to NIMBYism and the environment, there’s a great saying out there. What do you call a developer – someone who wants to build a house. Well, what do you call an environmentalist – someone who already owns the house, [LAUGHING] because they don’t want anyone else to build there, right? Well, we avoid investing in coastal areas here at Get Rich Education. They’re what I call the volatile markets - they have a history of more regulation, more rent control, and more laws that are disadvantageous to property owners. Just more reason … as to why we invest in the U.S. Midwest & South. They’re what I call the stable markets. You’re listening to Get Rich Education, Episode 306.

美國憲法第十三條修正案原文(13th Amendment) "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, nor any place subject to their jurisdiction." 奴隸制和非自願性的勞役均不得存於在美國境內或受美國國管轄之地，但依法被定罪之人對其懲罰不在此限。意思是用強制勞役當作懲罰是不在限制的範圍之內的，儘管大多數人認為第十三修正案廢除了奴隸制和非自願奴役，但仍然存在漏洞，導致美國南方各州普遍存在利用各種辦法將黑人定罪，進而強迫黑人勞動，當作是對其犯罪的懲罰。但往往都是犯了一些小罪，例如遊手好閒（Vagrancy），欠錢沒還或是直接羅織入罪，都會被強迫勞役。這些本質上都是奴隸制的延續，只是換了個名稱跟方式。什麼事Convict leasing system 定罪租賃，為何定罪租賃會接續解放黑奴後成為新的奴隸制度，還有什麼奇怪的小罪會讓黑人入獄，敬請收聽這一集節目喔！ 歡迎加入我們的紛絲專頁喔！ 臉書Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenopodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zenopodcast/ ＃定罪租賃 #ConvictLeasing #流浪罪 #vagrancy ＃美國憲法第十三修正 ＃奴隸 ＃美國社會議題 ＃種族議題 ＃新奴隸制度 ＃強迫勞役 ＃黑人議題 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zeno-podcast/support

From the 18th century through the beginning of the 1970s, American officials had an incredibly versatile weapon to use against anyone seen as dangerous to society or as flouting societal norms: vagrancy laws. To be charged with vagrancy did not require an illegal action; vagrancy was a status crime, says professor Risa Goluboff. You could lawfully be arrested, charged, and convicted because of who police thought you were, not what you'd done. During the post-WWII era of tumultuous social change, these laws were used against civil rights leaders, beatniks, hippies, interracial couples, suspected Communists, homosexuals, prostitutes, and–above all–the poor and politically vulnerable. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles speaks with Risa Goluboff about her new book, Vagrant Nation: Police Power, Constitutional Change, and the Making of the 1960s, to find out how these laws came about; how they were used in practice; and what it took to finally bring these laws down.

Sarah Nicolazzo discusses how studying literature can shed light on the history of capitalism – and how the 18th century cultural and legal category of vagrancy shaped the development of labor markets. Ever wondered about the longer history of police programs to push certain people out of public space - like L.A.'s Safer Cities Initiative or New York City's stop and frisk policy? Curious how literature can shed light on the history of capitalism? Want to know what Adam Smith has to do with the concept of vagrancy? Listen to find out.
In this episode, Sasha and Alex talk about the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Music by Forces of Nature.
