    Yeah, there are a lot of great bits like that in it. These are a few of my personal favorites that are extremely relevant today:

    • this basically explains how gig economy works

    • this is why there was such a big push to reopen the economy despite a raging pandemic

    • explanation of how we ended up with the whole 1% scenario

    • and finally how automation always ends up being turned against the workers

      You can definitely see Marx explaining things in a metaphysical sense and one that relies a lot on phenomenology (rather than economic positivism that we usually see nowadays).
