b'We discuss Chapter 13 \\u2013 Surplus Populations and Crisis \\u2013 and get deeper into the role of surplus populations in capitalism, how your relative position to the circuits of capital plays a big part in dictating what kind of life you have, and why capital needs a steady pool of people to sacrifice to help prevent, mitigate, and weather inevitable crises. But first we talk for a while about recent analyses of techno-feudalism and why we still think this compelling moral/cultural argument does not necessarily make for a powerful political economic analysis.\\n\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Mute Compulsion: A Marxist Theory of the Economic Power of Capital \\u2013 S\\xf8ren Mau https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2759-mute-compulsion \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
