Used to be rigorous
This used to be more about presenting research and new theories, and more rigorous. Now you’re getting episodes from organizations with the word “freedom” in them and episodes were people share cool Milton Freedman stories. It feels almost like advertising money has come in and made editorial demands…

Interviewers are not skilled
Great book selections, great theme, should be a great podcast, but WOW all the hosts seem totally unprepared, have super vague questions (what did you think about that?) they ask each time, and they stumble through the interview like undergrads. Do your homework and read the book - ask questions that advance the conversation - speak up and don’t say “Uh.” This pod would be so much better if you followed this advice.

Too heavily politicised
I used to enjoy this podcast when it discussed a broad range of economic issues. The recent episodes, however, are becoming more obscure and radical. My guess is these episodes now have to lowest listening rates in the channel’s history. If these titles are the best works coming out of academia, no wonder people are switching off in droves.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andres Saenz de Sicilia, "Subsumption in Kant, Hegel and Marx: From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society" (Brill, 2024)

Q: And I mean, that leads me really well to my next question, because in the book, you analyze Marx's conceptual frameworks, which you're hinting at here, uniting actuality, activity, social being, from work of practice to also their social reproduction. What is the relation between this problem or concept of subsumption and the materialism of the social reproduction process?

The guest explains that subsumption under capitalism is best understood when connected to social reproduction: subsumption drives how use value is reorganized under value, and social reproduction provides the empirical and open framework to study how capital shapes the wider social order beyond the factory, including technology, health, and consciousness.

Andres Saenz de Sicilia, "Subsumption in Kant, Hegel and Marx: From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society" (Brill, 2024)

Q: What were the issues or problems that Hegel had with Kant's approach to subsumption then?

Hegel challenges Kant's fixed categories and argues for a philosophical derivation of the categories and a more dynamic, socialized account of subsumption, culminating in a critique of subsumption as a mere identity claim and highlighting its limits in capturing the full richness of the particular in relation to the universal.

Andres Saenz de Sicilia, "Subsumption in Kant, Hegel and Marx: From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society" (Brill, 2024)

Q: And in your book you go into a fantastic amount of detail going through Kant's conceptualisation of subsumption. We're obviously moving a bit quickly here since we're going to jump a bit forward to dealing with the old man Hegel.

The answer outlines how Kant's subsumption moves from a formal logical model to a transcendental framework, where subsumption becomes a relation between heterogeneous representations (intuitions and concepts). This sets up tension that Hegel later reframes by socializing subsumption and introducing a developmental process with social grounding.

Oli Mould, "Postcapitalist cities: Towards a common urban future" (Manchester UP, 2026)

Q: Can you talk about the role of resistance and art in the urban context, perhaps with the examples from Chile or 1968?

Resistance often emerges through cultural practices and urban art that reclaim space, metastasizing from spark events like Chilean fare strikes to larger mobilizations, with art serving both as protest and as a long-term catalyst for organizing.

Oli Mould, "Postcapitalist cities: Towards a common urban future" (Manchester UP, 2026)

Q: How does your analysis connect gentrification with race and racial capitalism?

Gentrification is not just about physical transformation but about racialized space; it involves the homogenization of urban landscapes and the expulsion of the urban poor, with disproportionate impacts on people of color through processes like redlining and economic marginalization.
