THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 81: Marxist Theory and Prison Slave Labor

In this episode we talk with Dr. Asatar Bair.  I get hip to Dr. Bair from show economist Arash Kolahi. For the newly radicalized, Dr. Bair and I have a discussion on the importance of learning theory.  We also talk about his book on the slave nature of prison labor as well.   Dr. Asatar Bair is an activist, professor, teacher, and author of “Prison Labor in the US: An Economic Analysis” (Routledge, 2008). He teaches economic theory at Riverside City College in southern CA. He has written over 200 articles for the Boursen-Kourier, Austria’s oldest weekly financial newspaper. He has a Youtube channel with his lectures on economic theory: www.youtube.com/asatarbair. In addition to economics, Dr. Bair also teaches meditation and served as the Executive Director of the Institute for Applied Meditation.   Thank you again for taking the time to check this show out.  To continue to produce content such as this we rely solely on the support of people like you.  If you'd like to continue to support independent media such as this, and you can afford it, please become a patron.  You'll get bonus content from many of the shows, as well getting the shows early.  We're also producing some patron only content and livestreams with guests!    Become a Patron https://www.patreon.com/BitterLakePresents   Please follow, like, share, and subscribe to the show on the following platforms:   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG9WtLyoP9QU8sxuIfxk3eg   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Thisisrevolutionpodcast   Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/thisisrevolutionpodcast   Twitter @TIRShowOakland   Instagram @thisisrevolutionoakland   Medium https://medium.com/@jasonmyles/they-dont-really-care-about-us-e2f1703ca39e
