Dead Pundits Society

We're currently in between Season 1 and Season 2, so we've decided to take the opportunity to reproduce the "State Theory and Socialist Strategy Series" from 2017 in a more linear and coherent fashion. Old and new listeners, alike, will benefit from this presentation that will unfold over the next week, which develops a critical analysis of the relationship between the capitalist state and socialist strategy. Joining me this week to talk about corporations and the capitalist state is Steve Maher. Steve is a PhD Candidate at York University and Assistant Editor of the Socialist Register. We discuss the history of American capitalism and the transformations in the corporate structure. This is not merely an academic exercise — these transformations have tremendous impacts on the terrain of struggle for progressives and socialists, alike. Check out some of Steve’s relevant writings here: -“G.E.’s Switch,” www.jacobinmag.com/2017/07/ge-imme…ssion-investors
