Note (from after I completed this episode): I want to take responsibility here for a misstep I believe I made: I used some lengthy quotes from two of Alex Gladstein's excellent articles (on financial privilege and human rights) in a less-than-ideal way. Although I was clear in the episode when I was quoting another article (and that the articles were linked in my blog post), I realize in retrospect that it doesn't feel right to me that I didn't name the author on-air (since Alex deserves credit for his writing). Also, since I had felt that his articles made such important points, I quoted from them at greater length than I think is appropriate for a quote. So, I want to apologize for that and share the two links right here:
