Solid Air - A Socialist Book Club.

About Solid Air - A Socialist Book Club.

"Solid Air" works through political economy and history. "Invisible Hands" covers the history of economic thought. "World-Systems Analysis" covers Immanuel Wallerstein's work. "False Forms" covers Hegel and his interpreters. And "Reading Room" is an excuse for a friend and me to read and talk about philosophy or literature. This is a self-education project, and a largely socialist reading series. The full show is on a free Patreon tier: https://www.patreon.com/solidair/collections
