Really good article except that the economy is the base upon which stand the superstructure (laws, ideas, assumptions, common sense, etc). Since our base is a capitalist economy, the superstructure is the entirety of the ideology that fits with that economic system.
Covid indeed gave us a brief view that other things were possible
The Superstructure that society sits on is nature. Economies break down or go into overdrive based on natural disasters, mineral deposits, and available energy. The economy is just a proxy. Otherwise great article.
This is a minor point but I cannot find any podcast called The Punch Up that deals with socioeconomic issues. The two I've found are comedic and cover pop culture.
