Donnez-moi votre feedback par SMS (mobile uniquement)!Cet épisode retrace la généalogie de l'impératif de croissance, du capitalisme de Marx aux modèles contemporains de McKinsey.De la reconstruction d'après-guerre au PIB de Kuznets, de Keynes à Drucker, la croissance est passée d'indicateur à idéologie : grandir, c'est survivre.Puis sont venues les crises — financières, écologiques, sociales — et la question oubliée : croître, oui, mais pour quoi ?Avec Tim Jackson et Kate Raworth, une nouvelle vision s'esquisse : croître dans les limites du donut, entre plancher social et plafond écologique.Et si le véritable enjeu n'était plus d'accélérer, mais de choisir — enfin — ce qui mérite vraiment de croître ?

**Note: Nick and I have been doing a new show behind our respective paywalls, Pod Kapital, going through the new translation of Marx's Capital published by Princeton University Press. We had originally envisioned it as short-run series but after the tremendous response we have received from listeners, we have decided to make the show permanent. At this point, most of the episodes are locked but we will be figuring out ways to make future episodes accessible to non-Patrons in one way or another.** In this episode, we discuss Marx's chapter on cooperation. We also change the structure of our reading of Capital, slowing down and stretching out our study sessions. There's so much we want to cover. Consider supporting the show www.patreon.com/east_podcast
The PG crew tackles a classic Halloween movie that captured our hearts and bent our minds when we were in high school: Donnie Darko (2001). In writer/director Richard Kelly's coming-of-age sci-fi thriller, troubled teen Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) must decipher the apocalyptic visions he's been having before it's too late. We discuss the film's political backdrop of '80s/'00s conservatism, the primary plot and whether or not it makes sense, and its enduring relevance, dropping a Marx quote or two along the way.

Medicine is evolving faster than ever, but so are the challenges of misinformation and fragmented healthcare communication. In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Marx, a luminary in the realm of healthcare marketing and media, to discuss how evidence-based medicine can reclaim its central role in a system too often driven by trends and profit. Drawing from his experience in medical communications and media, Marx shares his mission to bridge the gap between science and public understanding through credible, accessible education. We dive into the growing influence of AI in organizing medical data, the balance between conventional and alternative medicine, and why funding gaps still hinder progress on unpatented yet promising treatments. This conversation is a call to elevate medical literacy, strengthen trust in data-driven care, and empower both practitioners and patients with the knowledge needed to make informed health decisions. Key Takeaways: Evidence-based medicine is critical in distinguishing fact from misinformation within healthcare, utilizing clinical trials and AI for reliable results. Alternative healthcare, often misconstrued, holds historical significance and merits further supportive research and acknowledgment alongside conventional medicine. Successful healthcare communication demands repetition across multiple media, catering to the varied learning styles and frequencies needed for information retention. Integrative healthcare, encompassing a range of practices from traditional to alternative medicine, provides a holistic approach to patient care. Relationships and trust with healthcare providers are paramount, urging patients to evaluate their choices based on evidence-backed practices and diverse professional insights.

TL;DR: AI progress and the recognition of associated risks are painful to think about. This cognitive dissonance acts as fertile ground in the memetic landscape, a high-energy state that will be exploited by novel ideologies. We can anticipate cultural evolution will find viable successionist ideologies: memeplexes that resolve this tension by framing the replacement of humanity by AI not as a catastrophe, but as some combination of desirable, heroic, or inevitable outcome. This post mostly examines the mechanics of the process. Most analyses of ideologies fixate on their specific claims - what acts are good, whether AIs are conscious, whether Christ is divine, or whether Virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception. Other analyses focus on exegeting individual thinkers: 'What did Marx really mean?' In this text, I'm trying to do something different - mostly, look at ideologies from an evolutionary perspective.

"Capitalism, then, is by nature a form or method of economic change and not only never is but never can be stationary." - Austrian Economist Joseph Schumpeter (1950) The 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics was recently awarded to Joel Mokyr, an economic historian at Northwestern University, Philippe Aghion, who is affiliated with universities in France and the U.K., and Peter Howitt, a professor of economics at Brown University. Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt worked together for decades to develop and publish a model that makes it possible to better understand business growth - but not just any growth. The growth fueled by Creative Destruction. Creative Destruction was first described by Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter in 1942 in response to ideas from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. In fact, Marx thought, and Schumpeter agreed, that it would lead to the end of capitalism… they just didn't agree on why. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers: What Creative Destruction is, and why it is no ordinary form of growth How the idea is connected to the potential end of capitalism Why it is so fascinating that this idea is being highlighted at this moment in time, with the rise of AI right before us.

Marxism is not just about economics, nor is it the study of obscure tomes. It's a powerful philosophical tool that helps revolutionaries understand the world, in order to change it.This week we're bringing you a presentation on the development of Marx's philosophy - where it came from, how it advanced scientific thinking, and how we can use it today.This presentation, given by Jeremy from the Revolutionary Communist Party, was recorded at the Toronto School of Communism this past weekend.For more talks like this, sign up for our Montreal Marxist Winter School today! This year we'll have a total of 11 inspiring presentations on Marxist theory and history. With over 600 participants from across the country last year, this is the event for anyone serious about changing society. To join the Revolutionary Communist Party, click here.
This week we talk about 2025's Weapons, written and directed by Zach Cregger, and how it relates to alienation, the failure of capitalist systems to build and maintain true community, and how teachers in the US don't get nearly enough credit or appreciation for what they do. No guest this week, just your boys from the Big Lebowski talking movies through the lens of Marx. As always, spoilers ahead.Left of the Projector Linkshttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://www.instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorpod/https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/https://www.instagram.com/the_red_gobbo/https://www.instagram.com/millennialmarxist1/https://leftoftheprojector.com

Absolute Ethical Life: Aristotle, Hegel and Marx by Michael Lazarus Karl Marx gave us not just a critique of the political economy of capital but a way of confronting the impoverished ethical quality of life we face under capitalism. Interpreting Marx anew as an ethical thinker, Absolute Ethical Life provides crucial resources for understanding how freedom and rational agency are impacted by a social world formed by value under capitalism, with consequences for philosophy today. Michael Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. Lazarus traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx's work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately, the book claims that Marx's value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement. In this normative interpretation of Marx, Lazarus integrates recent moral philosophy with a historically specific analysis of capitalism as a social form of life. He challenges contemporary political and economic theory to insist that any conception of modern life needs to account for capitalism. With a robust critique of capitalism derived from the determinations of what Marx calls the "form of value," Lazarus argues for an ethical life beyond capital. Michael Lazarus is a Lecturer in Political Theory in the Department of Political Economy. Before coming to King's College London, he was Deakin University Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute and a visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Absolute Ethical Life: Aristotle, Hegel and Marx by Michael Lazarus Karl Marx gave us not just a critique of the political economy of capital but a way of confronting the impoverished ethical quality of life we face under capitalism. Interpreting Marx anew as an ethical thinker, Absolute Ethical Life provides crucial resources for understanding how freedom and rational agency are impacted by a social world formed by value under capitalism, with consequences for philosophy today. Michael Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. Lazarus traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx's work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately, the book claims that Marx's value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement. In this normative interpretation of Marx, Lazarus integrates recent moral philosophy with a historically specific analysis of capitalism as a social form of life. He challenges contemporary political and economic theory to insist that any conception of modern life needs to account for capitalism. With a robust critique of capitalism derived from the determinations of what Marx calls the "form of value," Lazarus argues for an ethical life beyond capital. Michael Lazarus is a Lecturer in Political Theory in the Department of Political Economy. Before coming to King's College London, he was Deakin University Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute and a visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly speak with guest Gavin Mueller, an assistant professor of New Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. Mueller researches the politics of digital culture and much of our discussion centers on the realities of artificial intelligence in our time. They consider the huge amount of money being spent on Large Language Models, how they work, and what they can actually do as opposed to what all the hype says that they can (or will be able to???) do. Additionally the discussants consider how workers can fight the encroachment of this new, automated technology into the workplace. Our discussion leans on parts of Gavin's book Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job. They consider what Marx said about technology and automation, and how it applies to this situation. Plus current-events segment: the co-hosts discuss the political indictments handed down from the Trumpist Department of Justice that have targeted personal foes of Trump-James Comey, Leticia James, and John Bolton. Radio Free Humanity is co-hosted by Gabriel Donnelly and Andrew Kliman, and sponsored by Marxist-Humanist Initiative (https://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/ ).
In this episode of The History of the Papacy Podcast, Steve Guerra sits down with historian Andrew Hartman, author of Karl Marx in America, to explore how the revolutionary thinker’s ideas collided with the realities of 19th-century America. From Marx’s reflections on slavery and labor to his unlikely connection with Abraham Lincoln, the discussion reveals how debates about freedom, democracy, and class defined the American experience. What did Marx see in the U.S. and what did Lincoln see that Marx understood? #HistoryPodcast #KarlMarx #AbrahamLincoln #AndrewHartman #CivilWar #AmericanHistory #CatholicHistory #Marxism #IntellectualHistory #PhilosophyOfHistory Where to buy Karl Marx in America By Andrew Hartman: https://a.co/d/htMl94aSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8EHave questions, comments or feedback?

His latest book is Ideology and Revolution: How the Struggle against Domination Drives the Evolution of Morality and Institutions. In this episode, we focus on Ideology and Revolution. We first talk about how to understand social change, and the conflict between hierarchs and resisters. We discuss hierarchy and domination, and the role of morality and ideology in the struggle between hierarchs and resisters. We talk about revolution, when it is successful, whether the French Revolution failed, whether revolutionary ideologies play a causal role in revolutions, and just and unjust revolutionary violence. Finally, we talk about moral progress, and discuss whether hierarchy is unavoidable.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Just in time for Halloween, we're hosting a virtual hauntology reading group (specifically, hauntology the music genre) at 4pm ET next Thursday, October 30. If you want to join in, sign up for a paid subscription, or toss a few bucks into our haunted tip jar, and we'll send you the readings and a link to log into the conversation. We hope it'll be the first of more group reading sessions to come.We spend a lot of time here talking about the structural forces that turned pop culture into an endless churn of sequels, remakes, and nostalgia plays. But what if the blame for our current “creative recession” lies on more than just economics or platforms? What if our cultural values themselves have shifted in ways that make true innovation harder to sustain?That's the focus of Blank Space: A Cultural History of the Twenty-First Century, the forthcoming book from Tokyo-based culture critic W. David Marx—and probably the first major exhaustive account of the last 25 years in music, film/TV, internet culture, and fashion. He doesn't just look at the technological, political, and economic forces that that created a winner-take-all landscape where billionaires and centi-millionaires like Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, MrBeast, Jay-Z and frankly Donald Trump took up all of the cultural oxygen in the room, making it harder and harder for the next generation of innovators to break through. He zeroes in on the cultural attitudes that have led us here—and that set us apart from our 20th-century forebears—including poptimism, the valorization of entrepreneurial heroism, cultural omnivorism, and more.In addition to Blank Space, David the author of the mega-influential books Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change and Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style. He joins us to talk about the mind-boggling task of summing up the past quarter-century of culture, and why most of the coolest, most innovative outputs ended up getting pushed to the margins. We also get into what originality means in a climate of constant churn, and why he believes that fighting for it is still important, even in a postmodern landscape where “everything has already been done.”Finally, David makes the case that building a healthier cultural ecosystem starts with changing our cultural attitudes. That means embracing and reinforcing social norms that have fallen to the wayside in the past quarter century, like normalizing giving credit to smaller artists, learning the canon so we can break it, and yes, making it lame to sell out again.Pre-order Blank Space, which is out November 18 via Penguin Random House.

THIS WEEK: John and Asher reads through Chapters 10-12 of Vineland, which takes them back in their shared semester at the College of the Surf (John was Asher's RA). We also learn about the scintillating backstory of Frenesi Gates and her love affair with a COP (ew)--the betrayal of all her ostensible values. We also talk Marx, Freud, Lyotard, Thorazine as a bad-trip-killer, cinematic radicalism, the horny monster who lives inside of you and makes you do stuff you shouldn't want to (or even don't want to) do, May '68, the Emerald Triangle, and the Pynchonian figure of the evil dentist.THEN: Asher is joined by Dimitri and Khalid of the Subliminal Jihad podcast to talk about Pynchon's ties (literary and otherwise) to deep state conspiracism, occult machinations, and all things para-political (or as the boys would say it: political). The truth is out there? WRONG AGAIN. The truth is in...here.MUSIC:Kimi-Bogdan Raczynski
Send us a textIn this interview, Joshua Yen speaks with Dr. Jensen Suther (Harvard Society of Fellows) about his new book True Materialism (Stanford University Press). The conversation explores how Hegel and Marx can help us rethink the meaning of materialism, freedom, and modern life. Dr. Suther argues that a “true materialism” must unite Hegel's conception of rational agency with Marx's critique of capitalist modernity, showing how philosophy's history can guide social and political reflection today. Together, we discuss Hegelian Marxism, teleology, historical materialism, freedom, and how philosophy continues to shape our understanding of society.Support the show--------------------------If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/christianityforall Where else to find Josh Yen: Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforallEducation: https://bit.ly/joshyenBuisness: https://bit.ly/logoseduMy Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/

Von der Märzrevolution bis zur Pariser Kommune: Karl Marx war – entgegen häufiger Abwertungen – überzeugter Verfechter demokratischer Selbstbestimmung. In "Marx als Demokrat" zeigt Alex Demirović, wie sich Karl Marx' Verständnis von Demokratie vor dem Hintergrund politischer Enttäuschungen und Analysen im Lauf der Zeit verändert hat – und welche Vorstellung von demokratischer Überwindung des Kapitalismus er hatte. Ein Gespräch über Marx' Kritik an der liberalen Demokratie als Klassenherrschaft und seine Vision kommunistischer Demokratie.

What does it mean to be a political subject? This is one of the key questions asked by Massimo Modonesi in The Antagonistic Principle: Marxism and Political Action (2019), published as part of the Historical Materialism book series from Brill and Haymarket books. The book takes on the theories of Marx and Gramsci to develop a philosophical triad of subalternity-antagonism-autonomy as a way of studying political subjectification under oppressive conditions and the potential for resistance. The book then looks at political developments in South and Latin America, trying to understand the underlying dynamics of both where it's coming from, and what its possibilities are for anticapitalist resistance. Massimo Modonesi is professor and chair of the Political and Social Sciences Faculty at the Autonomous National University in Mexico, and is the author of numerous books on political theory and history in Latin America, his most recent in English being Subalternity, Antagonism, Autonomy: Constructing the Political Subject. He is a member of the coordinating committee of the International Gramsci Society.

Which industries should cease to exist immediately? And what ‘bullshit jobs' should they take with them? In episode 143 of Overthink, Ellie and David explore the academic and social movement of ‘Degrowth.' They discuss the imperial mode of living that has become normalized in the Global North, explain how it relates to the ‘iron law' of capitalism, and detail how the degrowth movement seeks to build a communist future. In particular, they explore the pillars Kohei Saito's degrowth communism. Why are degrowth scholars such as Saito so critical of the Green New Deal? Was Karl Marx himself a ‘degrower'? And what exactly does it mean to degrow the economy? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts continue their discussion of the pillars of degrowth, thinking about the benefits abandoning the current division of labor and shortening work hours.

In this episode, we talk about Alfred Sohn-Rethel's audacious and influential text Intellectual and Manual Labor. A fellow traveler of the Frankfurt School, Sohn-Rethel argued that the social activity of commodity exchange involves a set of real abstractions that actually precede and give rise to the structure of human consciousness and its capacity for mental abstraction. This really puts Kant in his place: the supposedly pure reason of the transcendental subject is historically conditioned by the fact that at some point people started trading stuff with each other. It also means that after the communist revolution succeeds we'll have a totally new set of a priori categories with which to synthesize experience. That's worth looking forward to!leftofphilosophy.comReferences:Alfred Sohn-Rethel, Intellectual and Manual Labor: A Critique of Epistemology, trans.

We chat with Laleh Khalili — author of Extractive Capitalism: How Commodities and Cronyism Drive the Global Economy — about the different systems, footsoldiers, and circuits of extraction that are essential to capitalism. We take a tour of the great many worlds of extraction: from sand mines and oil fields, to management consultants and chemical engineers, to surveillance systems and genocidal colonialism — all of which are connected together by the imperatives of extraction. Marx said that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction, but we are in a race to see who capitalism will destroy first: itself or all of us. ••• Extractive Capitalism: How Commodities and Cronyism Drive the Global Economy | Laleh Khalili https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/3405-extractive-capitalism Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's new book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

In this eye-opening message, Pastor Lucas Miles reveals how the modern progressive agenda—transhumanism, gender ideology, radical feminism, and even environmentalism—are all fueled by the same ancient, spiritual deception.Drawing from Hegel, Marx, and early feminist thought, Pastor Lucas traces the philosophical and theological roots of today's cultural revolution—showing how a Marxist-pagan worldview seeks to dethrone God and make humanity its own god.Through biblical insight and historical clarity, he contrasts this counterfeit “utopia” with the true hope of the Gospel: that only Christ's return can make all things new.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 180 After a long wait, we return to finish our exploration (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/07/the-communist-manifesto-volume-one/) of The Communist Manifesto (pdf: https://newdiscourses.com/2025/07/the-communist-manifesto-volume-one/) here on the New Discourses Podcast. In this episode, host James Lindsay takes you through the last chapter of the Manifesto itself and then continues to "The Principles of Communism," which Friedrich Engels wrote, originally as a "Communist Confession of Faith" in 1847, a year before the Manifesto was published with Karl Marx. He and Marx wrote it for the Communist League, which is given as an offshoot of the League of the Just, a revolutionary secret society made up of scattered French radicals and the remnant-in-exile of the Bavarian Illuminati. Join James for this clear look into the foundations of organized Communism and the principles upon which it was organized. Latest from New Discourses Press!

After an inmate sucker-punches James Sexton, he defies the jail's unwritten rules by failing to exact violent retribution, and finds himself ostracized by his peers. But he becomes an expert in the antiquated jail computer system and eventually wins promotion to an elite jail-intelligence unit. Leah Marx has a cell phone smuggled to inmate-informant Anthony Brown, part of the FBI's increasingly ambitious scheme to catch dirty jailers. Jailers quickly discover the phone, however, and trace it to the FBI. Scrambling to hide Brown from the feds, the department enlists Sexton, who helps change Brown's name in the computer system and dubs the plan Operation Pandora's Box. For 18 days, from August-Sept. 2011, Marx struggles to find her informant.The effort to erase Anthony Brown from jail records showed how far leaders would go to shield themselves. A young deputy became central to the cover-up, and what began as a contraband phone case quickly spiraled into an obstruction probe. Reporter Chris Goffard, who previously told the story of Dirty John, guides listeners through this extraordinary clash between the Sheriff's Department and the FBI.
