2009-11-07 - The Therapy of Desire - Epicureans and Stoics on the good life

Author: ABC Radio National
Sat, Nov 07, 2009

2009-10-31 - Human cures and animal sacrifices

2009-10-17 - What would Karl Marx think?

Author: ABC Radio National
Sat, Oct 17, 2009


Commodities, capitalism and computers. At a time when the Berlin Wall has fallen but Wall Street is decidedly shaky, a self-described lapsed Marxist takes us through some of the key philosophical and practical ideas of Karl Marx and argues for what is still useful today. What is worth keeping in Marx? He had his limitations but later thinkers have built on his core concepts and used his methods to produce results that still speak to the changing nature of work in contemporary Australia.
