    <title>Political Economy with Werner Mouton</title>
    <generator>Transistor (https://transistor.fm)</generator>
    <itunes:new-feed-url>https://feeds.transistor.fm/political-economy-with-werner-mouton</itunes:new-feed-url>
    <description>The economy is not somewhere else. It is in your rent, your wages, your debt, your time, your family, your fear, and your future.

Political Economy with Werner Mouton explores capitalism as a lived system: made by people, enforced by institutions, explained by economics, and felt in ordinary life.

Each episode looks beneath familiar economic language — markets, wages, rent, debt, inflation, growth, productivity — to ask what is really being protected, hidden, priced, sold, and sacrificed.

This is not economics as a private language for experts. It is political economy for people who want to understand the world they are living in.
