Do You Have Class (In Your Analysis)?

In this session, we’ll make the leap from production to class struggle. We’ll identify the different roles and relationships that people have in the social production process and discuss how to use our understanding of political economy to determine what the material interests of these different classes of people are and, most importantly, why they necessarily come into conflict with one another.
