Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 PART 4 is finally here! (Marx and Chill episode 4 as well.) This week we discuss Karl Marx's Estranged Labor. One of his most famous writings. 

Estranged Labor is the last "chapter" of the first manuscript of Marx' Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. We learn how the worker becomes alienated towards the product of their labor. 

However, the worker is not only alienated to their work... but labor in itself is alienating. We go into detail about how this is so. This chapter also connects with the three other chapters from Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. We culminate at the full understanding that capitalism has no interest in its labor, only in private property. 

Lastly, in this chapter of Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 we also learn how estranged labor, also alienates human beings from one another. We're diving deep this week!

Thank you to everyone who has been following this series. It's been difficult getting through Marx' Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 so I really appreciate everyone that's watching and commenting. 🥰
