Moishe Postone: Marx in the Age of Trump

This lecture was recorded in September 2017 at the Vienna Humanities Festival 2017.
Marx in the Age of Trump
The concepts of Karl Marx have been among the most powerful tools for the critical analysis of Western society. What can they tell us about the current moment? Is Donald Trump the apotheosis of global capitalism or the harbinger of its demise?
University of Chicago Professor and IWM Visiting Fellow (at the time of the event) Moishe Postone, one of the world’s leading interpreters of Marx, pursues these questions in a conversation with Raimund Löw, former correspondent for Austrian television in Washington.
