Marx: Estranged Labor (re-upload)
This is a new version of the video, because the first version had terrible sound levels!
1844 Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts, Video #1
A discussion of Marx's concept of estranged labor. There are some great, short explanations of this concept online, but many of them make it sound like alienation is only a problem for 19th-century factory workers. I therefore focus on giving a broader account, intentionally avoiding the application of estrangement to exploited, industrial labor.

best video, this does clear our why i am dissatisfied with my job, especially working with numbers
I've read the manuscript and seen tons of video. Read Erich Fromms take on it and understand alienation, but nothing comes close to your explanation. Absolutely wonderful...

Oh hey, thanks for this! For Fromm and the Frankfurt School guys, alienation was always such an important concept--but it definitely took me a while to get clear(er) on the concept itself! I really appreciate the kind words.

@@MatthewLampert thank you for responding. I'm from Iran btw. So you know you have a fan across the world
I remember a old plasterer 45 years ago saying to me as a apprentice .We turn a lorry load of sand cement lime e.c.t into a plaster finished house. Which through labour and skill I found extraordinary in the ordinary.
I truly understood what it means to own your own product when I translated a book in persian. I once saw someone with a copy who folded it out of habit. And it was like someone was wrenching my heart... That was when I understood what it was to own your labour and how precious it becomes. At least from my understanding of alienation. Pls correct me if I'm wrong
Excellent video. Thanks a bunch.
god matthew you are the best lecturer ever
