Socialism Series Episode 4: Charles Hall

In this episode, we cover English socialist Charles Hall and his 1805 magnum opus The Effects of Civilisation on the People in European States. Hall is, in my view, the best socialist we have covered so far. Thirteen years before Marx's birth, Hall provides lucid accounts of the concepts of wage slavery, surplus value, and labor exploitation more generally.

This feels like a lecture, but in a great engaging way. Great jumping on points. I hope it continues and there is a Debs episode. Or just a Debs episode of the Bruenigs in general!

These are my favorite, and reminds me that I would love a “political economy according to Matt” book.
