4+ y ago54:57

54:57

Our twelfth episode studies the last part of the book, chapters 26-33, which Marx begins by critiquing bourgeois political economy’s concept of “primitive accumulation.” Throughout the book so far, Marx has assumed that the conditions of capitalism already exist: a class of those with nothing to sell but their labor power and a class that owns the …

Our seventh episode covers chapters 11-14.

Absolute surplus value is produced by prolonging the worki…

Surplus value and exploitation arise from the contradiction betwee…
