Episode description

In this episode we tone it down a bit and look at a single short story, "The Case of the Stick" by one of the greatest Brazilian authors of all time, Machado de Assis!

We talk about slavery in Brazil, some of the many faces of inequality and racism here, and go off on fun and interesting tangents about labor, sociology and modern capitalism.
