Mehr Political Economy with Werner Mouton

Political Economy with Werner Mouton I examine how power operates through economic, political, and cultural systems—who benefits, how systems evolve, and what consequences follow. Each episode analyzes current events through theoretical frameworks from Marx, Polanyi, Hayek, and others. The goal is clarity: helping you understand how the world actually works, not what official narratives claim. I'm a writer and CGMA. I understand how organizations and capital function from the inside, which informs how I explain complex systems. Most episodes remain free.

Episode Selective Protection and the Roots of Populism in Capitalism Cover

Selective Protection and the Roots of Populism in Capitalism

In this episode, I explore the rise of hard-right populist parties and the paradox at their core: voters under economic strain accept short-term benefits while surrendering long-term rights and opportunities. We trace how capitalism generates inequality, how inequality fuels populism, and how populism reshapes democracy into a system of selective protection. The essay examines Poland, Hungary, and France as case studies, and considers the broader structural loop: capitalism → inequality → populism → authoritarian drift.

Episode Sanctions, Adaptation, and the Edges of Economic Power Cover

Sanctions, Adaptation, and the Edges of Economic Power

Sanctions, Adaptation, and the Edges of Economic Power Sanctions have become structural features of the global economy. This episode traces their rise since 2014, the adaptation of targeted states, and the consequences for finance, trade, and humanitarian flows. In this episode: * How sanctions expanded after Crimea and deepened after the invasion of Ukraine. * Why trade flows look stable in aggregate yet fragment beneath the surface. * The ways Russia, Iran, and Venezuela have adapted through rerouting, barter, and shadow networks. * The role of connector economies that preserve volumes while signaling fragmentation. * How freezing central-bank reserves demonstrates leverage but raises doubts about trust in global money. * The humanitarian effects that often go unmentioned: blocked aid transfers, shortages of medicine, and the liquidity crisis in Afghanistan. * Why sanctions are powerful, but fragile when they corrode the networks they rely on. * What design choices can preserve their credibility into the future. Sanctions remain central to international politics. They punish, deter, and signal without force. Yet they also expose how economic power rests on trust, and how easily that trust can be eroded by overreach.

Episode Debt at the Limits of Power Cover

Debt at the Limits of Power

Rising interest rates have turned what once seemed a manageable tool of crisis response into a structural risk. U.S. debt now nears the size of the economy, with annual interest costs exceeding defense spending and credit ratings downgraded. For decades, cheap borrowing and the dollar’s reserve role muted consequences, but those assumptions no longer hold. Across advanced economies, similar pressures collide with populist resistance to fiscal restraint, leaving governments trapped between austerity’s political costs and deficits’ financial weight. History offers only limited strategies—default, inflation, repression—each with profound trade-offs. The question that remains is whether democratic systems can adapt before the next shock makes the choice unavoidable. https://www.wernermouton.com/ [https://www.wernermouton.com/] ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ [https://www.patreon.com/wernermouton]
