The Gamers with Glasses Show - The GameStop Stock Market Special

In this special episode of The Gamers with Glasses Show, Patrick Jagoda (University of Chicago), Christopher Breu (Illinois State University), and Christian Haines (Penn State University) discuss the GameStop stock market drama and its social, political, and economic contexts! They debate whether or not the short squeeze of GameStop stock is viable political strategy, the class conflict dimensions, the neoliberal fantasy of beating investment bankers at their own game, the gamification of the stock market, and much more. They even imagine a socialist future in which labor unions are gamified and the stock market gets seized for the common good!
