'Venezuela Undercover'. What the ABC’s Foreign Correspondent left behind

-
Campbell and Davis render chavismo banal, reducing it to the recklessness of Chavez’s charisma and people’s adoration of a now dead leader. Foreign Correspondent disappoints with ‘Venezuela Undercover’. A good-looking but trivial piece of ‘investigative journalism’. The 30-minute documentary by reporter Eric Campbell and producer Mike Davis, begins by asserting that Venezuela is, today, a ‘disaster’. Though very little in the documentary is offered that might allow the viewer to understand why ‘Venezuela is a disaster’.

Es decir, cualquier propuesta teórica debiera poder explicarse a sí misma, o mejor, debe poder proponer y comprender sus propias condiciones de posibilidad. Para adentrarse en estos temas los invito a revisar el artículo de Elbe.  Por cierto, este últ...

The theft of wood

The theft of wood and the 'origins' of Marx's critique of political eocnomy.  Barbara Harriss-White writes: 'At the age of 24 and soon after completing his doctoral thesis, Marx wrote the Debates on the Law on Thefts of Wood (1842), in which he recognized private property as theft, the interests embodied in it as antithetical to those represented in customary law and the state as the guardian of private property. Arguably, the seed of his later political economy was germinated by this early analysis of wood theft which he wrote for the Rheinische Zeitung' (p. 102). Let us then now read such  Debates. More later.
