Capitalism and Desire: The Psychic Cost of Free Markets (Pt. 5)


Listen Later

DON'T YOU DARE CALL IT A COMEBACK. 

Part 5 of our Todd McGowan Capitalism and Desire: The Psychic Cost of Free Markets reading series is in full effect this week.

In Chapter 5, CC Alex leads us through a discussion on psychoanalytic approaches to freedom under capitalism, universals, and McGowan's use of the symbolic to explain capital's functioning along with all the usual Red Troika hijinks.

ENJOY.
