Pulling from the archive, Money on the Left presents the second episode of the Superstructure podcast, "The Virus is the Virus." In this episode, hosts Will Beaman and Maxximilian Seijo embark on a deep dive into intersections between the work of philosopher Giorgio Agamben and reductive Marxist discourses around capitalism and nature. In so doing, they uncover a highly problematic historical and political economic lineage for the widely used COVID19 meme: 'Capitalism is the virus'.
