Garrett & I are joined by three heterodox economics professors to give a more Marxist view of economics from the usual neoclassical dross that gets proffered elsewhere.
Youssef Khodaparast, Erik Dean, and Mitch Green are three PhD holders in Econ who help break down why we talk about economics as this mystical thing and hold economists and Alan Greenspan-types up as these High Priests of Modernity who can somehow divine reality for the rest of us.
(The photo is of Marley the Good Dog, who is why Youssef had to leave early.)
