Capital #13 - Machinery and Large-Scale Industry (Part 2 - ch. 15 continued)

More dialectics, more dualities. Machinery is wielded as a weapon against the working class. Marx shows us how machinery was not the great liberator it was made out to be. When capital gives with one hand, it takes with the other. We're joined in this episode by Nathan from Marx Madness Pod and new guest Erin to discuss the displacement of workers, the gruesome working conditions that existed in Marx's time, right up to the present day, women and children joining the workforce, education, modern examples of how machinery is used against us (and for capital) and one of the heaviest and most depressing chapters so far in 'Capital'. Welcome back as we continue and finish off the enormous 'Chapter 15 - Machinery and Large-Scale Industry' from 'Capital - Volume I' by Karl Marx. If you're looking to brush up on your understanding of dialectics in preparation for this chapter, feel free to check out our previous episode on 'Dialectical and Historical Materialism' by Stalin.
