[ENG] This show introduces the omnipresent issue of debt. We look at the sovereign debt crisis, with the help of interviews with Stathis Kouvelakis (speaking about Greece) and Nick Dearden from the Jubilee Debt Campaign. Nick tells us about citizens’ debt audits and talks about the ideas of socialising finance, and the strategy of the debt strike. Finally we discuss the morality and subjectivities of private and social indebtedness, drawing on some quotes from Maurizio Lazzarato’s recent book, Indebted Man and a lovely song from Occupy Debt.
