YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Back in December of 2019, Marxist geographer David Harvey controversially claimed that capitalism was "too big to fail." In this video we'll consider Harvey's argument, the impediments we're facing, and the difference between the struggle for socialism in the 19th century and socialism today.

Zero Books Manifesto:

The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
