Ep 155: Marx Against Marxism w/ Michael Heinrich
Added 2021-08-18 10:00:05 +0000 UTCSean and Jamie are excited to be joined by Michael Heinrich, German scholar and author of a series of books popularizing and clarifying Marx's value theory and contextualizing the life and times of old Karl. We discuss the core of Marx's project, what distinguished him from the economists of his day, and what political orientations might follow from a precise understanding of his critique of political economy. Importantly, Michael has a powerful critique of vulgar Marxism and the orthodoxies of the 19th and 20th centuries. Nerds, you're not going to want to miss this one!

Comments
Wow, it was very simplistically presented and yet there's still so many layers there... probably just need to read Heinrich (wink wink- Everybody Loves Communism), but might actually enjoy hearing the crew mull over some of this content in say a twitch stream.... Great job everyone, now for that bonus ep!!

2021-08-18 17:12:42 +0000 UTCIs it immature for me to point out that the way Michael Heinrich sounds reminds me of Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove?
