Season 7 Episode 14: Karl Marx in America (ft. Andrew Hartman)

Andrew Hartman joins Ben Burgis to talk about his fascinating book "Karl Marx in America," where he traces interest in Marx"s ideas by American commentators from the Gilded Age to the Great Depression to the Vietnam-era New Left to the present. Before that, Ben does an Opening Argument responding to Ro Khanna on socialism. In the postgame for patrons, Ben and the crew watch a slightly less serious discussion about Marx by Tim Pool and Sargon of Akkad and some other person who"s name none of us can be bothered to remember (+ Donald Trump telling a story about how his fat billionaire friend in London).
