Join David Harvey and Miguel Robles-Duran for a compelling Patreon discussion on the intersections of politics, economics, and society. The conversation begins with the origins and aspirations of "Politics in Motion," setting expectations for the year ahead. A debate emerges on the capitalist characteristics of slavery, challenging traditional Marxist views with recent scholarly insights. The discussion then pivots to comparing the capitalist imperialist tendencies of Russia and China with the USA. Attention shifts to Miguel's work with the Urban Front and The Shape of Cities to Come Institute, followed by a practical dialogue on tracking the metamorphosis of capital. The conversation takes a serious turn with concerns about the link between neoliberalism and authoritarianism, especially against the backdrop of rising global fascism. The pressing issue of homelessness and policy failures in NYC is examined, seeking effective solutions amidst escalating extremism. The session concludes with an in-depth analysis of Marx's theory of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, exploring its contemporary relevance in capitalist crises. This engaging and insightful discussion is a must for anyone keen on understanding the complexities of our modern socio-economic environment.
