RSam Podcast Paul Cockshott: Defending Materialism and Scientific Socialism
Dr Paul Cockshott is a computer scientist and multidisciplinary economist working through Marxism and scientific socialism. Dr Cockshott earned a PhD in Computer Science from Edinburgh University. Named on fifty-two patents, his research covers political economy, robotics, computer parallelism, 3D TV, foundations of computability, and data compression. He is the author of numerous books, including How the World Works, Towards a New Socialism and Defending Materialism. In this episode, we discuss the history of materialism, whether dialectical or mechanical materialism is correct, what type of materialist Marx was, scientific socialism, centralised planning, computational economics and whether markets without capitalism are possible.
