RFH Ep. 122 New English Translation of Capital, vol 1 (interview w Paul Reitter & Paul North)

Radio Free Humanity: The Marxist-Humanist Podcast

The co-hosts interview Paul Reitter and Paul North, co-editors of the new English edition of volume 1 of Marx’s "Capital,” which Reitter also translated. Much of the discussion explores differences between the new translation and previous ones. They also discuss why Reitter decided to produce a new translation; the co-editors’ collaborative process; the “reading” of “Capital” they chose; the theme of “Marx’s anger”; and their plans for translation of other volumes of “Capital.” Plus current-events segment: Trump & Vance incite violence against Haitian immigrants—especially after Trump was thrashed in the Sept. 10 debate—by peddling racist “eating pets” lie.
