Season 3 Episode 13: G.A. Cohen vs. Jason Brennan (and Ben is Co-Teaching a Marx Class with Thaddeus Russell)

Marxist analytic philosopher G.A. Cohen wrote a book called, "Why Not Socialism?" Libertarian philosopher Jason Brennan wrote a response called, "Why Not Capitalism?" Ben Burgis and the GTAA crew debunk some claims that Brennan makes in a lecture  on all of this. Also: Ben's going to be teaching a three-week class on both books (and his larger critique of Brennan and defense of Cohen) in December.Later in the show, returning GTAA champ Thaddeus Russell comes on the show to talk a little Karl Marx. Thad is a critic of Marx. Ben, obviously, is a big fan. Plot twist: After Ben's Cohen/Brennan class in December, Ben and Thad are going to be teaching a buddy-cop-movie of a Marx class in January. Should be fun!Finally (before the postgame for patrons) Ben and his wife Professor Jennifer Burgis do a philosophy segment on Ben's exchange w/Charlie Kirk about "objective truth." (We promise we'll start doing some not-about-Charlie-Kirk philosophy segments soon!Follow Jennifer on Twitter: @profjennburgisFollow Thaddeus Russell on Twitter: @ThaddeusRussellSign up for the G.A.
