Dialectic at Work: The Hidden Difference Between State Capitalism and Real Socialism
In this episode of Dialectic at Work, the dialectic explores the nature of capitalism, its variations across different societies, and the potential pathways for transitioning to new economic systems. They delve into Marxist theory, the history of surplus production, and the future of economic organization. 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. Follow us for more information on this and other shows we produce.
