CHAPTERS

00:00 The Story So Far

08:05 One Flagship, Two Detours

10:15 Stumbling Productively


Figuring things out through slow-motion reading series. "Solid Air" works through political economy x history. "Invisible Hands" covers the lives and theories of economists. "Reading Room" is an excuse for a friend and me to read and talk about philosophy or literature. Every third episode is on Patreon, but not really - there's a "free feed" just a click away. This is a self-education project, and nothing more.In the Solid Air series, we dig into Panitch & Gindin's "The Making of Global Capitalism" and then take two "detours" into other texts. Rinse and repeat. For those detours, we tend to focus on Eric Hobsbawm, Robert Heilbroner, David Harvey, and Garry Gerstle - but we've also read first-hand texts from the time, like John Maynard Keynes' Economic Consequences of the Peace or Frederick Winslow Taylor Principles of Scientific Management.
