In the latest episode of Deja Vu, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor examine the latest model of disaster capitalism.

Disaster capitalism once meant cashing in on a crisis. What happens when the crisis never ends?

This episode was produced by Mohamed Hassan, Marcos Bartolome and Sonia Bhagat. It was edited by Alexandra Locke. Our engagement producer is Adam Abou-Gad. Our sound designer is Alex Roldan.
