About this episode
What happens when we base an entire economy on feeding the elite? It’s That Part host Jesse Lee Hammonds unpacks the dangerous myth of supply-side economics — an idea born in the 1800s and still fueling bad policy in 2025. From robber barons to Elon Musk, from the Great Depression to the next crash, this episode connects the historical dots and shows why the system was never built to serve everyone. If you’ve ever wondered why your paycheck feels smaller while the rich get richer, this episode is your answer.
