This podcast is a great example of how important the ipod and itunes are to helping spread inteligent, well thought out courses on important topics. For those who went to college years ago like myself or those wondering what a good course is capable of presenting this is the REAL DEAL. This course is beyond trying to make anybody into a Marxist.

These lectures demonstrate where much of that thinking originates. Harvey is a good man and a venerable critical theorist who can still engage an audience with presentations that combine deep insights with lucid presentation.
