Episode notes

i think you could probably argue against marks that, at least in, you know, maybe we've exported our the worst kinds of poverty to other countries. A but ultimately, these class antagonisms are going to get stronger and stronger because of this idea of alienation. Like workat has not gotten less alienating, i think. No fair to say over this period of time. But i can ask you, where r we, where do we stand? This's what i want to talk about.

In honor of Labor Day, David and Tamler dive into two works by Karl Marx - "The Communist Manifesto" and "Estranged Labor." What is Marx's theory of historical change? Why does capitalism produce an alienated workforce? What role does philosophy play in maintaining the status quo? Plus, fraudulent data in a famous study about dishonesty and former guest Dan Ariely is under investigation.
