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 - whether officially designated as essential yet treated, exactly, how? - are urgently discussed. How should we think about Marx today? I spoke with Professor Vivek Chibber at NYU. Vivek is a social theorist, editor, and professor of sociology 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) and numerous articles and essays.
In 2017, Chibber launched Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy, with Robert Brenner, published by Jacobin magazine. We met in a recording studio in New York City, so this audio podcast is also available in a video version on YouTube.
