We are entering a period of profound economic, political and cultural crisis. In such periods it is essential for society to have the right theoretical tools for understanding our condition and how to change it. To this end, I began making these videos in the spring of 08 in order to try to explain some rather complicated theoretical ideas which I believe to be of utmost importance to our current condition.

In times of crisis the law of value asserts itself with violence. My videos deal with the nature of value in a capitalist society, how this value is expressed, and what contradictions grow from it.

The full text of all videos is posted at:

I highly recommend David Harvey's Kapital class:

I hope to make these videos less academic and more entertaining as I go along. The goal is to eventually get better at explaining complicated Marxist ideas in common, everyday language.

im gonna spend more time with watching your videos for sure. lots of thoughts condensed in these videos. five stars! i found both Marx's labor theory of value and Austrian econmist's version of value theory fascinating. and i'm tempted to think extreme form of both groups would be anarchism, if failed examples of socialsim is viewed as crony socialsim as capitalism nowadays is thought as crony capitalism...just my immatrure thought. but thanks bro!!
