Gabriel Donnelly interviews Andrew Kliman, regarding Marx’s concept of “intrinsic value”—value as distinct from exchange-value. Andrew clarifies the distinction and talks about how it became increasingly important to Marx. He and Gabriel discuss the significance of the concept of intrinsic value, Andrew’s contention that Marx was proving the existence of intrinsic value at the start of “Capital,” and the import of Jamie Edwards & Brian Leiter’s failure to recognize that this is what Marx was doing. (See full description of ep. for links to works cited and quoted.)
Plus current-events segment: Lame, Sitting, Dead—the 3 Stages of Donald’s Duckness. The co-hosts discuss the growing consensus that Trump is a “lame duck” and prospects for moving forward to Stages 2 and 3.
