About this audiobook
A lively, accessible, and timely guide to Marxist economics for those who want to understand and dismantle the world of the 1%.
Economists regularly promote Capitalism as the greatest system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the "experts."
Despite the efforts of these mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise, many of us have begun to question why this system has produced such vast inequality and wanton disregard for its own environmental destruction. This book offers answers to exactly these questions on their own terms: in the form of a radical economic theory.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read this 2020 and it was perfect timing for being in my house all alone for months. Simple, approachable explanation of Kapital and Kapatal II for laymen. Their is also pretty clever. It feels like you went and had a beer with her while she explained economics. Every lefty thinker should give it a shot, but I think even if you’re not a leftist, it’s got a lot of useful information.
