How the World Changes: Understanding Historical Materialism

How the World Changes: Understanding Historical Materialism

Before we can change the world, we have to understand how change occurs.

The class module in today's episode is titled "Change is Possible." How do systems of power rise and fall? Brian introduces the Marxist method for understanding how societies change.
