How do the rich become rich? In another wide-ranging episode we cover topics including how being rich leads to being richer, the tendency of large businesses to devour smaller ones, the brutal living conditions of English workers in Marx's time, which persist until today in the Global South, the colonisation of Ireland and more. The end is almost in sight as we sit down for the penultimate episode in our series on Karl Marx's 'Capital - Volume I' covering all of 'Section 7 - The Process of Accumulation of Capital', which includes; 'Chapter 23 - Simple Reproduction', 'Chapter 24 - The Transformation of Surplus-Value into Capital' and 'Chapter 25 - The General Law of Capitalist Accumulation'.
