Cable Street

In this episode of Cable Street, I talk to Edwin Ackerman from Syracuse University about his piece for Jacobin called "A Potential Breakthrough in Mexico". We discuss the history of Mexican politics and the current political landscape, the role of corruption in this campaign, whether he is actually a populist candidate and the unique characteristics of Lopez Obrador that made his supporters hopefull and warry of the man they call AMLO.
