Capitalism Is Not the Economy

Marx was not simply writing about economics. He was trying to understand capitalism as a historical system.In this episode, I look at why Marx refused to treat “the economy” as something natural, neutral, or timeless. Wages, profit, markets, growth, and competition are not just technical facts. They are social relations shaped by property, labor, class, law, and power.The episode asks what changes when we stop seeing capitalism as fate and begin seeing it as a human order: made through history, protected by institutions, and explained through the language of economics.Website: https://www.wernermouton.comFor more, join the community: https://www.patreon.com/wernermouton ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
