Certified legend if you'll do volume 3. I've never come across anything on youtube that goes into depth into it.

Reading "Capital" is like reading the most breathtaking thriller ever written. I'm listening to your podcast while ironing. Don't want to stop. May the pile of laundry grow!!!

Been waiting for your Capital recapitulation. Very clear, cogent, and to my mind accurate analysis of what you've divided into Pt. I. Thank you for getting to Marx.

What an amazing channel this is, you keep at it, my friend!

Happy you're finally getting to Capital with the podcast. Guess I'll relisten to the Smith and Ricardo episodes first.

Perfect speed, clear and less formal

hi, thanks for your videos and playlists. This playlist needs rearranging so that part 1/4 plays first :) thanks

Videos are definitely great to sleep too. Definitely also informative. But if I need to sleep I just chuck on something i find dry like Adam smith and just snooze away

Great work. The last few decades have shown that Marx was totally right.

Marxism by dream state, capitalism by day

Yes, the barter system of trade may be very complicated. The value demand of one product is hard to determine in such a system. Marx failed so much in determining the "cost-time" of labor of products.

The labor theory of value is obviously wrong. Smith, Ricardo, Marx - all wrong! Market price is not based on labor - it’s determined on how much the seller is willing to take for and how much the buyer is willing to pay for it. Which in turn depends on the utility of the commodity to the buyer and the cost of production or acquisition to the seller. Marx’s distinction between use value and exchange value is a mistake - the latter depends on the former.

So Marx never worked in a factory and was notoriously bad with money but you guys trust him about he economy. 😂😂😂
