Marx, Neoliberalism, and Alienation in Society

The chapter features a discussion with David Harvey on the relevance of Marx's work on capitalism to today's economic landscape and the rise of neoliberalism in response to labor empowerment. They explore the impact of neoliberal policies on labor movements, social inequality, and alienation in society, discussing how this has led to discontent and a rise in movements seeking alternative social relations. The conversation also touches on the hope for a revolt against neoliberalism, the rise of socialist leaders like Corbyn and Sanders, and the recommendation of David Harvey's book for insights into challenging current obstacles.
