Dialectic at Work: Marx's Surplus Value Idea Explains Why Capitalism Cannot Deliver

💾

In this episode of Dialectic at Work, the dialectic explores the motivations behind Marx's writing of the theories of surplus value, the contradictions within capitalism, and the revolutionary implications of Marx's analysis. We delve into the historical context, key insights from Marx's work, and its relevance today.

The Dialectic at Work is a podcast hosted by Professor Shahram Azhar & Professor Richard Wolff. The show is dedicated to exploring Marxist theory. It employs the dialectical mode of reasoning, a method developed over millennia by Plato and Aristotle, and continues to explore new dimensions of theory and praxis through dialogue. The Marxist dialectic is a revolutionary dialectic that not only seeks to understand the world but also to change it. In our discussions, the dialectic comes into play, aiming to address the pressing life crises that we face as a global community.
