In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring back our great friend and comrade Zhun Xu, whom you may remember from our episode Sanctions Against China & Their Political Economy from our Sanctions As War miniseries. In this episode, we discuss Zhun terrific new article in Monthly Review, Industrial Agriculture: Lessons from North Korea! This conversation was incredibly generative, and will certainly be of great benefit to you whether you are someone who studies agricultural systems, the DPRK, or none of the above. Stay tuned, Zhun will appear on the show again VERY soon for another great topic and discussion...
