E179 - Marx's Capital Re-Translated w/ Paul North and Paul Reitter

American Prestige

Translating Marx's Capital might be daunting to some, but Paul North, professor of Germanic languages and literature at Yale, and Paul Reitter, professor of Germanic languages and literature at Ohio State University, felt up to the task. Danny and Derek talk to them about their new translation of Capital, what goes into capturing the nuances of the original German text, why they chose the second edition in particular, the cosmopolitanism of the book, Marx's anger, and what they each brought to the table in taking on this massive project.
