Slavoj Zizek - Late Night Live - 26 September 2011
Slavoj Zizek has been described as more a phenomenon than a philosopher. He packs auditoriums and lecture halls wherever he speaks and is one of Europe’s foremost Marxist theorists. He’s said to have an opinion on every subject from decaffeinated coffee to sex, from seagulls and swearing to the end of the world.

23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism
Speaker: Professor Ha-Joon Chang
Chair: Professor Robert Wade
This event was recorded on 5 October 2010 in Old Theatre, Old Building
We may like or dislike capitalism, but surely we all know how it works. Right? Wrong. Today, most arguments about capitalism are dominated by free-market ideology and unfounded assumptions that parade as ‘facts’. This lecture in which Ha-Joon Chang will talk about his new book "23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism" tells the story of capitalism as it is and shows how capitalism as we know it can be, and should be, made better.

David Harvey, Honduran Generals, Victor Agosto and Remembering Hiroshima 8/06/09
Despite a variety of technical setbacks, the long awaited Seeing Red podcast is now available. David Harvey speaks of the “irrational rationalizing of an irrational system.” The Honduran Generals admit that they were saving US democracy by destroying it at home.

Honduran Coup, Smithfield Workers Win Contract and Marx’s Analysis of Capitalism 7/2/09
Sunday’s coup by the Honduran military and the international response it invoked reveals a shifting dynamic between the global South and the continued hegemony of the North Atlantic. After 13 years of hard-fought struggle the Smithfield Workers finally win their first contract. Recent unemployment statistics reveal a lengthening recession in the United States. We return to Michael A. Lebowitz’s book, Build It Now: Socialism in the 21st Century for a look at Karl Marx’s disrobing of classical political economy in his master work Capital. We remember the days of rioting at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village forty years ago this week. Finally, we look back at this day, July 2nd, in Revolutionary History.
