Great Books 34: Vivek Chibber on Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto"
Manage episode 268046457 series 2631289
Marx has never left us. In our era of populism, political polarization, and the pandemic, concerns central to Marx such as economic inequality, the consolidation of power in the hands of the few, and the fate of workers are urgently discussed. How should we think about Marx today? I spoke with Professor Vivek Chibber at NYU who has published Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital (Verso, 2013), and Locked in Place: State-Building and Late Industrialization in India (Princeton, 2003).
Uli Baer teaches literature and photography as University Professor at New York University.
