In how many ways does the wage form deceive us? How does the accumulation process drive the system? What is simple reproduction?Uploaded 25-03-26A chapter by chapter study of Marx’s powerful analysis in Capital: Critique of Political Economy, Volume 1. This book from 1872 is still the best guide to the predatory economic and social system within which we live. The book solves five basic mysteries in our social world. The mysteries are: why social classes struggle against one another, why human beings are in the thrall of things, how a quantity of money turns into more money without seeming to add anything, why some people are forced to work and the more they work the less they make proportional to their effort, and finally, and why it is so hard to transform the system for the better. This course is taught by Paul North, Maurice Natanson Professor of German, Yale University. Prof. North is co-editor of the new English translation and critical edition of Capital Volume 1 by Karl Marx published in 2024 by Princeton University Press. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691190075/capital To view other videos in this course, visit this link. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh9mgdi4rNewd_0qe4c2lkzXZZQka_QnZ&si=CHOgjCcVD0K378kl Learn more about your ad choices.

Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)Uploaded 23-09-08The lecture discusses Aristotle's comparative politics with a special emphasis on the idea of the regime, as expressed in books III through VI in Politics. A regime, in the context of this major work, refers to both the formal enumeration of rights and duties within a community as well as to the distinctive customs, manners, moral dispositions and sentiments of that community.

Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)Uploaded 21-09-08With the emergence of democracies in Europe and the New World at the beginning of the nineteenth century, political philosophers began to re-evaluate the relationship between freedom and equality. Tocqueville, in particular, saw the creation of new forms of social power that presented threats to human liberty. His most famous work, Democracy in America, was written for his French countrymen who were still devoted to the restoration of the monarchy and whom Tocqueville wanted to convince that the democratic social revolution he had witnessed in America was equally representative of France's future.00:00 - Chapter 1.
