Impossible to even consider the question of Marxism as science if you don't understand that classical economics is explicitly physics-founded. Screenshots are from Mirowski's More Heat Than Light, but this genealogy of physics is one of the central themes of @videotroph's book. https://t.co/VpUVH78ox2

Fwiw I’ve written about this and I feel like the missing link in all of this is that individuation is always-already socially enmeshed. https://t.co/WiRXRoRwMr
