Karl Marx 'Capital' 3.2 - "No Use Value"

Published: Aug. 2, 2023, 6:58 p.m.

In this episode of Text of the Matter we continue through Capital Vol I, Book 2, going into detail on how Marx conceives Capital as a thing different from money, commodities, and their circulation. Through human labor, technology, materials, spaced, etc. are transformed into some sellable; just as human labor itself becomes the proletariats only means of earning their keep. Within this industrial context, is it possible to harness these technologies in a different way? As technology increasingly removes human intervention from production has the character of Capital changed? And how do we imagine revolutionary politics after these major shifts?\n
