Description

<p>Wild has been on hiatus while I finish my most recent book. We’ll be back with a fresh direction and new guests in the coming months, but in the meantime I’m dropping in a small handful of interviews I’ve been doing on Substack that you might find interesting. They’re far more rustic and casual than my usual offerings. You can, of course, watch the video versions over on <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/t/wild-live" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a>.</p><br><p>My guest today is <strong>Grace Blakeley</strong>, who explores the intersections of capitalism, politics, and economics… and pretty much everything that’s happening right now — from tariffs to collapsing stock markets on her Substack, <a href="https://graceblakeley.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Grace Blakeley</em></a>. She is the author of&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/3XOVE2G" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stolen</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/3RExwvW" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Corona Crash</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/3XLoTmY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vulture Capitalism</a>, and edited&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/42AHXqG" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Futures of Socialism</a>.</p><br><p>In this chat, we cover specifically her commentary about what the Left can do to respond to the rise of the oligarchs. You can read her original call-to-arms essay <a href="https://graceblakeley.substack.com/p/what-can-we-do?r=2w74y&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;triedRedirect=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><br><p><strong>PS:</strong> My new book, <em>I Eat the Stars</em>, will be out worldwide in May/June 2026. If you’re curious, you can read the serialised version over on <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/p/table-of-contents" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a>. Today’s chat touches on a few of the themes I explore in that work.</p><br><p>--</p><br><p>If you need to know a bit more about me…<a href="https://sarahwilson.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> head to my "about" page</a></p><p>For more such conversations, <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">subscribe to my Substack newsletter,</a> it’s where I interact the most!</p><p>Let’s connect on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_sarahwilson_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
