Karl Marx podcast

This is from Economics in Ten podcast, season one, episode five. This is one of the longer episodes in the series and it earns its runtime. Pete and Gav do a good job of separating what he actually argued from what has been done in his name. The episode covers exploitation, surplus value, alienation, and the historical materialist framework. Worth being aware that some students will arrive with strong pre-existing views, which can make the discussion richer or trickier depending on the group. Goes beyond the spec in places, but the income distribution and critique of capitalism material is relevant and the episode is a good one for stretching confident students or prompting discussion about the assumptions built into mainstream economic models.  Listen here
