We start out our recording sessions by checking in and asking how one another are doing, and then usually cut that part and focus on discussing the book we are reading.

But this week, there's a lot of stuff going on, and our check in took a lot of unexpected turns, and it ended up generating a lot of really good conversation that we both felt really good about being able to have, and we hope that it resonates with you as well.

We will come back next week with Chapter 4 of the Phil Gasper annotated edition of the Communist Manifesto, as well as the Appendix, "Is the Communist Manifesto Still Relevant?"
