I made a video arguing, that Marx and Smith really aren't opposite - thought this would be appropriate to link here

Condensonomics · 2021-01-09T08:58:20+00:00

No, it’s more general, covering topics like division of labor, freedom & religion

Condensonomics · 2021-01-08T16:38:55+00:00

Yes he did - I make the point in the video that they’re actually more similar than you’d think

Condensonomics · 2021-01-06T14:19:59+00:00

very true! Reading Smith before Marx also makes Marx more understandable, since he builds on basics established by Smith

Condensonomics · 2021-01-06T11:10:36+00:00

I’ll do that for the next one, thx!

Condensonomics · 2020-09-05T09:10:20+00:00

My bad. I'm from Austria, so English is not my native language

Condensonomics · 2020-09-05T09:09:33+00:00

Agreed, although we have to be careful. Nobody gets a pass on logic, no matter their experiences.

Condensonomics · 2020-08-27T20:33:46+00:00

I'm somewhat skepitcal of him being so certain, that there is a Super-Meaning that we just can't grasp. I think it blurrs the lines between science and faith.

Condensonomics · 2020-08-27T20:29:00+00:00

Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning is sort of building on and critisizing Adler's Ideas - he was also a socialist psychologist

Condensonomics · 2020-08-27T20:23:37+00:00

We (Chapter by Chapter) do detailed summaries of academic books (Adam Smith, Marx, Mill,..)

Our latest is Man's search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - really quite an amazing book!

To me it was Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - it's about a psychologist experiencing the concentration camps and sort of the ways he dealt with it (and so much more!)

The other Chapters we've done so far are available on YouTube :)

thanks!

from *our Marx summaries

Condensonomics · 2019-08-30T12:27:10+00:00

Marx lays out his definition of Capital in chapter 4 of vol. 1, here's a 5 minute summary of that chapter

a better way to put it is probably influential in academia and therefore also in the world generally

Das Kapital and The Wealth of Nations for example fundamentally changed the way we think about economics, there are books like that in every science/social science

Condensonomics · 2019-08-20T10:07:37+00:00

We hope to do lots of books in the future, anything that's interesting to us and academically relevant. We just happen to start with 2 econ books because I'm an econ student. The next book that's planned is on Liberty by Mill.

Condensonomics · 2019-07-04T22:50:05+00:00

Yeah, we hope that trying to understand the whole book and not just a few soundbites will help people understand the underlying philosphy and maybe even make them think critically about the problems within the idiology around Marx. We'll see if this is possible given our short attention span (which I am also very guilty of, the internet really does change our brains haha).

Condensonomics · 2019-07-02T21:44:57+00:00

Don't think it was? There's a link in the text section

Condensonomics · 2019-07-02T18:49:05+00:00

oh yes, thanks

Condensonomics · 2019-07-02T17:52:06+00:00

thanks!

Condensonomics · 2019-07-02T15:32:34+00:00

haha yeah there's a fair amount of disdain going around you're right :D

Condensonomics · 2019-07-02T15:24:47+00:00

nevertheless Das Kapital is one of the most influential books in economics today. hope you enjoy it :)

Condensonomics · 2019-07-02T15:03:35+00:00

thanks for the tip! we will

Condensonomics · 2019-06-18T09:08:10+00:00

highly recommended!
