Ingo Schmidt | Economics as Class Struggle


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Professor Ingo Schmidt for a wide-ranging discussion on economic theory and left politics. Dr. Schmidt is a Professor of Labour Studies at Athabasca University in British Columbia, Canada. His PhD research focused on trade unions and Keynesianism, and his work has placed him at the center of critical debates in political economy. Originally from Germany, Schmidt is a blacklisted economist there and has long been active in peace and international solidarity movements.

He has authored or edited several books and collections including:

Market populism, its right-wing offspring and left alternatives. (Policy Press, 2021)
Reading Capital Today: Marx After 150 Years (Pluto, 2017)
The Three Worlds of Social Democracy: A Global View (Pluto, 2015)
