He asked Samuelson: \u201cWhat is there in Marx that is both valid and absent in neoclassical theory\u201d? To this, Samuelson responded: \u201cClass analysis.\u201d In this episode, Shahram and Professor Wolff use the dialectic to explore how Marx\u2019s magnum opus, Das Kapital, is understood and its connection to class and class analysis. It begins by examining the overall project of Capital and discussing why beginners should read this essential text. Professor Wolff explains the importance of the three volumes in Marx\u2019s theoretical scheme, the main differences between the first two volumes, and how they individually contribute to our understanding of the \u2018capitalist totality\u2019.   About The Dialectic at Work is a podcast hosted by Professor Shahram Azhar & Professor Richard Wolff. The show is dedicated to exploring Marxian theory. It utilizes the dialectical mode of reasoning, that is the method developed over the millennia by Plato and Aristotle, and continues to explore new dimensions of theory and praxis via a dialogue. The Marxist dialectic is a revolutionary dialectic that not only seeks to understand the world but rather to change it. In our discussions, the dialectic goes to work intending to solve the urgent life crises that we face as a global community.
