[S6 E04] Revolt and Recession: The Global Crisis of Higher Education and Work
David Harvey reflects on recent protests in Bangladesh as a "canary in the coal mine" for growing global discontent over unequal job opportunities and socioeconomic divides. He explores parallels between the unrest in Bangladesh, Iran, and student movements of the 1960s, highlighting the role of higher education and the precarious job market in fueling frustration. Harvey also delves into the potential impact of automation, artificial intelligence, and the rise of adjunct teaching, warning of a future where economic instability could provoke widespread discontent among educated but underemployed populations.

[S6 E04] The Politics of Clans and Castes
David Harvey explores Marx's theory of the capitalist mode of production, emphasizing the importance of understanding both the inner structure and external dynamics of this system. Harvey highlights the contradiction inherent in commodities, where use value and exchange value often clash. He discusses how this contradiction, as outlined by Marx, shapes the entire mode of production. Harvey expands this into a broader discussion on the social formation, emphasizing the interplay between the capitalist mode of production and social factors like race and gender that result in organizational systems within society such as Castes and clans. He argues that a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of everyday living requires considering both the internal structure of capitalism and the broader social context in which it operates.

[S6 E02] World War 3: The Resonance of Unwritten History
Stay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.org
David Harvey reflects on the eerie similarities between current global political and economic tensions and those of the 1930s, suggesting a potential repetition of history that could lead to World War III. Drawing on Marx's notion that history repeats itself first as tragedy and then as farce, Harvey questions whether the current rise in authoritarian governance, austerity politics, and social discontent mirrors the prelude to past global conflicts. By examining the consequences of austerity, the spread of authoritarian and fascistic governance, and the growing discontent among populations worldwide, Harvey warns of the dangerous path towards a global conflict potentially involving nuclear weapons. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the root causes of these issues to prevent a repeat of history's darkest moments, suggesting that without significant change, the world may be on the brink of an apocalyptic future.

Join David Harvey and Miguel Robles-Duran for a compelling Patreon discussion on the intersections of politics, economics, and society.

[S6 E01] Beyond Borders: Class, Nation & Nationalism
Stay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.org
Professor Harvey investigates a very difficult and thorny problem, not only for Marxists, but for everyone, which is how to understand the concept of nation and the role of nationalism and what nationalism might do to our thinking when it is inserted into the theoretical discussion of how capital works. Harvey interrogates this question by employing the three basic concepts with which the discipline of geography as a whole is concerned: the environment, space and space time, and place, and places them in dialogue with Aristotle, Hegel, Heidegger, and Marx.

[S5.5 E08] The Politics of Humiliation
Stay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.org
In his book, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, economist John Maynard Keynes warned against the humiliation of Germany at the end of World War I. Keynes argued that if you deal with Germany by humiliating it and draining it of any economic possibilities, keeping it lost underground as it were, there will be instability all across Europe and there will be social uprisings and all the rest of it. So what Keynes was predicting in a way was the sort of social instability that started to become very apparent almost immediately after the Versailles conference in 1923 when Hitler launched his coup attempt in the Munich beer Hall. And it was generally laughed at and said this was kind of a very amateurish operation and that therefore didn't go very far. And Hitler got arrested and was sentenced to jail for five years, but got out after five months. But nobody took this seriously. And this seems to me to be one of the lessons which comes from reading Keynes on The Economic Consequences of the Peace and living through the 20th Century that too many have not actually recognized the significance of this dimension to the conflicts which are going on around us.

[S5.5 E07] The Question of Debt in Our Lives
Stay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.org
Last week Professor Harvey pointed out that the basic means by which consumerism is developed in such a way is to be consistent with the growth of an economy based upon profit seeking was to expand indebtedness. But it turns out that the credit system and the circulation of interest-bearing capital on the development of indebtedness has another very strong role. And therefore there is a double force which is concentrating upon the credit system. And that double force is related to the fact that increasingly in the history of capital, capital has required more and more fixed capital, fixed capital within the factory in the form of machines and plant and all the rest of it, but also fixed capital of what Marx called fixed capital of an independent kind - that is fixed capital that would be used in common. Professor Harvey traces the development of fixed capital and the credit system to understand the financialization of our economy today.

[S5.5 E06] Where Does Profit Come From?
Stay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.org
Professor Harvey takes us back to the very origins of Marx’s Capital by asking the questions, where does profit come from and what are the consequences of profit making? Harvey discusses how the debates between Ricardo and Malthus informed Marx’s answers to those questions. He then turns to Rosa Luxemburg’s insights into the role of imperialism’s predations on non-capitalist societies to expand accumulation. Finally, he brings the argument up to date by discussing the role of the credit system. As the internal capacity for consumerism and the imperialist capacity for consumerism become exhausted, the burden lies upon an expansion of the credit system to realize the value of ever-growing consumerism. Increasing financialization since the 1980s has created a different kind of logic to the dynamics of capital in which more and more of the onus is placed upon the growth of the credit system to keep the accumulation of capital expanding, which exposes the capitalist system to financial crises.

[S5.5 E05] Anti-Capitalist Chronicles: Mass and the Politics of Scale
Stay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.org
Professor Harvey discusses the UAW strike and the transformation of the automobile industry. He argues that mere electrification of the automobile cannot solve the environmental crisis. The sheer scale at which capital is now working is radically different from that which existed in Marx's time. The growth incentive must be dismantled in such a way that allows us to meet our needs. But we have organized our societies around the automobile. We urgently have to start thinking about a political program which is actually going to stop this process of continuously doubling the economy's size every 15 years or so. By not considering the true scale of the problem we're not really thinking through the future consequences of our current actions because in many ways what we're doing is condemning the future by our present decisions.
