EDUCATION | Part 10 | Reading Marx’s "Capital" Volume 1 with David Harvey

[@MrEwanRoy]

When Harvey starts describing the movement of wages at 29:46, it doesn't quite match the diagram. Am I looking at the wrong diagram or did anyone else find this confusing?

24:10 Założenie Marksa tyczące idealnego kapitalizmu w tomie 1 w tomie drugim jak wartość dodatkowa jest rozbijana na wyzysk, podatki dla państwa, czynsz dla właścicieli nieruchomości, odsetki dla banku, marże handlowe. To że są problemy z wymianą i realizacja wartości Marks jest świadomy i zajmuje się tym w kolejnych tomach Kapitału

All wealth is the product of labor , then to whom it should belong to?

[@hirschowitz1]

Thank you for this question. I think that productive consumption and individual consumption is an important distinction..... the capitalist view is that the least labour harnessed at the lowest cost equals the most revenue for the ruling class. This social implication of unbridled capitalism a la trump is devastating for the mere subsistence of the individual worker.... Marx is required reading for every school child.

[@kkakaria]

It should belong to the worker. The capitalist could earn a small percentage in exchange for putting up the initial capital. But mostly the workers of each business

[@Dylan-xb4zb]

Not necessarily true. Nature is also a source of wealth. Marx acknowledges this in A critique of the gotha programme. Labor is not entitled to all it creates

[@chatsidefires]

The last "to" in your initial question is unnecessary. Therefore, the products of all of your labor should belong to me. No I'm just kidding.

34:00 po 5 latach kapitalista nie ma prawa do kapitału bo go , już zuzyl

18:20 podaż i popyt nie wyjaśnia niczego. Odzwierciedla tylko fluktuacje cen. Nie zna odpowiedzi dlaczego para butów kosztuje dwa razy więcej niż koszula. Żaden wolnorykokretyn z menTcenem włącznie nie ośmielił się jak dotąd powiedzieć że buty są dwa razy droższe niż koszula bo jest na nie dwa razy większy popyr

I find monotone speaking a condition in America everywhere. Its not only in America. The British can get really whiny and sing songish with their voices. Netanyahu speaks like a pancake. Cuomo is flat and boring. Newsom sounds like a corpse resuscitated. Trump is a flat, boring monotone speaker. Harvey is reading Marx in a pitch that will put me too sleep. I listen hard for what Marx is saying channeled through this professor's voice (again no disrespect) and when I take those words and process them Marx is telling something really big. That bigness is delivered with a small voice that the people will never be inspired. To be a revolutionary speaker means you need to yank out of the brains of people listening the fire within them. Please leftists train your voices. King did not speak like this. Malcom X neither and I have seen him speak...he was intense and great as a speaker. Fred Hampton, a young man, a powerful speaker. I've known people who seen Trotsky speak and he was electrifying for them. My father told me Eugene Debs was an incredible speaker also electrifying. He goes for hours and nobody leaves. I am sure Marx himself was not this flat as speaker. Old footage of Lenin shows him reaching out to the audience almost grabbing their necks. Not staring but looking in the eyes of his audience. All of American media talks at the audience is true on their campaigns and debates formats. Never is there any eye contact between candidates and the audience behind the camera. You could imagine with his body action his voice delivered with power! And this is what I find in the American left which pains me for Marx, the flat monotone, lifeless, emotionless, voices. I listened to this entire video before writing this...very disappointing. You know who does a better job garnishing the consciousness of the masses was Phil Donahue and the other rich woman, I forgot her name. Oh yes, Oprah Winfrey. They had a format that worked and involved the audience that this format was too revolutionary their programs were cancelled is proof that this is the way to read out to people..

lmao, this is a David Harvey lecture, not quite a rally or AM radio, and it's hard to shout across a thousand pages of political economy anyway. The text itself speaks vividly about capitalism's terrible effects-- that it's fundamentally a system of exploitation, that it will become more volatile and more scientifically & morally indefensible over time, and most importantly, that we have to transcend it. Marx invokes blood, monsters, gods, devils.. And Harvey often plucks these bits out and reminds us how colorful Capital can be, how emotionally appealing it is, and what a great writer we're reading. Seems pretty fun to me, especially for a lecture in economics! If we did close readings of Marx, like this one, as part of a basic economics curriculum, econ departments might look considerably different. The freshmen would eat it up and some would consider changing their majors, while the grad students would either dismiss it as disproven, unfruitful, too theoretical, or even dangerous, or else have their minds blown in a different kind of dangerous way. It's not surprising that the so-called elite schools have completely bought into liberalism. And the higher the tuition, the more Marx seems to be disappeared throughout the various fields he used to occupy. Personally, I think Harvey has a wonderful way about him. Plenty expressive voice, great sense of rhythm (which helps when you're trying to follow complex arguments). Focused and crystal clear. I mean, these lectures are basically delivered flawlessly. What would you have swapped out? Plus he's old! You must be really annoyed with Chomsky these days. If you want to hear someone passionately talking about current events from a Marxist perspective, I recommend you listen to Richard Wolff's show if you're not familiar with it. Economic Update, check it out. You're not gonna hear him shouting or anything, but he has a relatively emotional presentation. The content of his show is pretty great too
