For over 50 years, he has taught and studied these foundational texts. He is considered by many to be the most influential Marxist scholar alive today. We discuss his 29th and most recent book The Story of Capital. Our conversation explores the inequality and economic crises of the 21st century. What are the defining features of this new era? What forces might intervene to correct our faltering economic systems? You can get access to the full catalog for Doomscroll and more by becoming a paid supporter: www.patreon.com/joshuacitarella
