• Ep. 113: Marx’s Critique of Darimon in the Grundrisse, Part 2

    Andrew and special guest-interviewer Francisco discuss Andrew’s new article, “Marx’s Critique of Darimon in the Grundrisse: On Indirectly Social Labor and the ‘Impossible Tasks’ of Labor Money.” Marx’s Grundrisse begins with a lengthy critique of the book in which Alfred Darimon, a prominent Proudhonist, proposed eliminating monetary crises by abolishing gold and silver money. In Part 2 of the interview, Francisco and Andrew discuss a couple of the main themes in Marx’s critique of Darimon—labor money and directly vs. indirectly social labor. (Part 1 dealt with how this critique relates to Marx’s other critiques of Proudhonism, why he found Proudhonism so concerning, his charge that Proudhonists “want the impossible,” and his criticisms of Darimon’s proposal to abolish metallic money.)
