Hello, Prestige heads. I'm Danny Besner, and I'm excited to tell you about a new series we've got here at American Prestige. It's called Mark's Prestige. It's a series of discussions with the historian Andrew Hartman, whose new book Marks in America examines how Karl Marks and the philosophy and politics he created shaped and reshaped the United States. In the process, we answer some of the most vexing questions that have confronted and it continued to confront the American left. There's never been a socialist or labor party in the U.S. the way there was in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. We examine Mark's life in all its contradictions. And I should say one of the reasons he was paying close attention to it is because translations of capital were selling better in Russia than anywhere else. Socialists always make the best capitalists because we have no illusions about the system. Over six episodes, we make our way from the late 1800s to the present moment where we discuss where the left can go from here. The millennial socialist movement,

the most important movement, dare I say, in the entirety of human history. The series launches on March 31st. Go to MarksPrecisePod.com and remember annual subscribers get free access so if you're an annual subscriber, look out for an email with instructions.
