From Yale professor Paul North comes a chapter-by-chapter study of Karl Marx’s Capital: Critique of Political Economy, Volume 1. According to the description that accompanies the course on YouTube, this “book from 1872 is still the best guide to the predatory economic and social system within which we live. The book solves five basic mysteries in our social world. The mysteries are: why social classes struggle against one another, why human beings are in the thrall of things, how a quantity of money turns into more money without seeming to add anything, why some people are forced to work and the more they work the less they make proportional to their effort, and finally, and why it is so hard to transform the system for the better.” You can watch the 19 lectures from the course in the playlist above.
Prof. North is the co-editor of the new English translation and critical edition of Capital Volume 1, and it’s the text used in the course. If you’re interested in delving deeper into Marx’s Capital, see the David Harvey courses listed in the Relateds below.
