Our third episode takes up chapters 2 and 3 on exchange and money, where the C-M-C circuit makes its first appearance. After setting up the juridical conditions of market exchange, we look at how money arises out of and transforms the exchange process. Next, we examine some of the contradictions inherent in the money-form, including those between C-M and M-C, and how these are intensified forms of the general contradictions between exchange-value and use-value. We discuss the origins and value of money, the difference between price and value (and what this has to do with sanctions and tariffs), credit, and money’s role as a 1) measure of value, 2) medium of circulation, and 3) means of payment, and the contradictions between these functions.

#3: MONEY (Ch. 2-3)

Crack open a bottle of mead, roll up a fatty, blow some ganja smoke into your NES carts, and hit the power button for a night of pixeleated puffery. Straight out of beautiful Knobs Washington, MyStYr YuCk is here to bust open your back door and leave some paraphernalia under your bedroom pillow (as long as you've been a nasty fuck this year).

MyStyR YuCk - DῦḈH ŞtYҗ (twØ PдypA $pLiFFZ)

This is another rough mix, but I think it's good enough to share at this point.

Sorta more of a deathrock vibes ish song. A bit frantic. Anxious. The panopticon.

Elvis Christ - Drug Warrior: National Hero

Totally formless. Atonal. No beat. No melody. Just oscillators.

Listen in low light, with minimal distraction. Turn the speakers up, or preferably listen in headphones to get optimal detail.

Lyrics:

If the fires fail
And the floods hold still
And the bombs all fall
On an empty field
If the lights stay on
And the freeways sing
No economic disaster
Just living the dream

Send in the virus

No escape
Everything we counted on
There's no escape
All the plans we followed
There is
No escape
Hope was just a mirror
There is no escape
Time has come full circle
There is...

If we only knew
What the future would bring
Would we still be here?
Would we still hold still?
