Ep. 4: Markets vs. Capitalism in THE ABC OF COMMUNISM (Roderick Long)

Roderick Long discusses the distinction between markets and capitalism in Bukharin and Preobrazhensky’s ABC OF COMMUNISM, and in the Marxist tradition generally; or, how Marxism twists itself into a pretzel to avoid endorsing free-market anti-capitalism.

Here are some links to items mentioned in the discussion:

Nikolai Bukharin and Yevgeny Preobrazhensky’s ABC OF COMMUNISM –

Alexander Berkman’s ABC OF COMMUNIST ANARCHISM –

Karl Marx’s CAPITAL, vol. 1 –
