The second of our series of beginners guide episodes offers an introduction to Marxist economics. What is the difference between mainstream economics and Marxist economics? What are the relationships of economic production that shape life within capitalism? What is the labour theory of value? What does knowing anything about economics have to do with trying to change the world? Host Roz Ward discusses the answers to these questions and more with activists Sarah Garnham and Luca Tavan.
For more reading on this and other topics check out Red Flag's new Introduction to Socialism section.
