We are joined by David Dayen (editor, American Prospect) and Lindsay Owens (director, Groundwork Collaborative) to discuss the special issue of the American Prospect they put together on \u201chow pricing really works.\u201d We drill down into why pricing is the perfect window for seeing how power works in the economy. We explore the great many tactics and technologies that companies have devised to make pricing into a major source of profits by enforcing a system of unfair, deceptive, and aggressive strategies designed to exploit each person based on what they are willing to pay and what they are willing to accept. We wrap up by talking about what can be done by legislators, regulators, and the court of public outrage to push back against the weaponization of pricing.\n\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 How Pricing Really Works https://prospect.org/pricing\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Groundwork Collaborative https://groundworkcollaborative.org/ \n\u2022\u2022\u2022 David Dayen https://x.com/ddayen \n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Lindsay Owens https://x.com/owenslindsay1 \n\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \n\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
