Featuring University of Massachusetts Amherst Sociologist Sanjiv Gupta and University of Massachusetts Amherst Economist David Kotz. 

This is episode 3 of a 4-part series on “What is Capitalism?” This series is accompanying the DSA National Political Education Committee’s curriculum packet, which can find our curriculum at https://education.dsausa.org/resources/.

This episode goes into classes and class struggle under capitalism. The discussion is in response to a chapter from the Communist Manifesto about us, the working class, and the capitalists class. The Communist Manifesto was written just as the French Revolution of 1848 was getting started.
