The podcast episodes explore the concept of 'Black capitalism' and its role in promoting economic empowerment for African Americans, as well as the critiques of this approach.

The episodes delve into how the capitalist state has co-opted and commodified black rage through mechanisms like corporate advertising and increased policing budgets, obscuring class divisions within the Black community.

The episodes also examine the story of Soul City, a utopian town project aimed at creating economic opportunities and wealth for Black people, and how it ultimately failed to materialize due to opposition and loss of funding.

The limitations of 'Black capitalism' in driving real change and wealth-building for Black Americans are thoroughly explored and critiqued throughout the episodes.
