The Early Engels: Capitalism, Morality, and the Case Against Malthus

In this episode, Craig, Adam, Matt, and Will examine an early
writing of Friedrich Engels entitled "Outlines of a Critique of
Political Economy". How can we interpret the evidently moralistic
language in Engels' work in light of the anti-moralism which
characterizes his later writings with Marx, namely within "The
German Ideology". In "Outlines", Engels offers a succinct but
brilliant rendering of how the division of capital and labor
precipitate other kinds of contradictions under the capitalist
system.  Also, the cast identifies potentially problematic
formulations within the text seem to fall outside Engels'
intended methodology.  Other figures mentioned include
Spinoza, Hegel, Feuerbach, Stirner, Smith, Ricardo, Malthus,
Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari.
