Meet your hosts: David and Nathan. One of them is the foremost expert on Karl Marx in rural Missouri. The other might have had a crush on Ronald Reagan throughout college. You get to figure out who's who.

Each week, these two will break down a handful of chapters from a foundational work of Marxism. Join them as they begin to dissect Karl Marx's Capital, the book that your uncle told you was worse than the necronomicon.

Episode Notes

It's the beginning of the end of Capital with the final formulation of Marx's theory of Capitalist accumulation. So much content needed two episodes to fully discuss.
