really good lecture on the origins of modern political economy and marx's critique of it !
This lecture is a part of the world school of communism, but I think ppl in this sub, and atrioc himself, could be interested in the concrete development of economics as a science it describes. And the interventions that follow discuss many recent relevant questions in economics, you might not agree with the conclusions but it's definitely worth a watch if you like economics or history !
I think for atrioc himself this is a bit of a more detailed modern development of the ideas of Marx including the ideas of Capital, his magnum opus, without being as high commitment as reading the actual books.
(you can skip the little introduction on the organizational questions around the lecture)
