@antifascistdad: So I finally watched some Heather Cox Richardson because she was talking about the crucial distinctions between capitalism, communism, and fascism, and the place of liberal democracy in relation to them all. Pretty silly stuff. #ViewFromNowhere, #LiberalIdeology, #PoliticalEconomy, #heathercoxrichardson #FascismAndCapital

She is an historian, not an economist. Her specialty is American history and more specifically reconstruction. Her takes on currents of American politics is invaluable. look elsewhere for critiques of capitalism. Jared Yates Sexton is my primary source for takes from the left.

HCR is not an economist. She is a political historian. Take her analysis from that context.

Hi. Economics professor here. Her definition of capitalism is fine. One need not teach the labor theory of value or do a deep dive into Marxian economic thought to talk about who gets to choose what is produced and why. Economics and political economy are sisters, but not twins.

I love HCR and I have learned a lot from her, but no one teacher is enough in these times. I do not believe she is a propagandist.

I think you're right, but some of her work is useful as what she calls a 'first draft of History.' she does a good job at summarizing daily political events and putting them in context.

How about “yes, and…” or “I don’t agree and here’s why” instead of “don’t listen to them!” You can be far more effective by expanding or questioning. Chastising is not getting us anywhere.

She is a world-class historian. An absolutely fantastic scholar. I've read two of her books and listen to her regularly.

This is great insight. I've watched and listened to quite a few of her videos and lectures, she really comes across as basically a good audiobook version of existing liberal textbooks 🙏🙏

I don't think of her as a Facebook or YouTube lecturer. I read her "letters from an American " writings she posts daily to fb, Substack and Instagram. She takes today's political goings on and puts them into historical perspective. She's a political historian.

She’s not an economist nor economic historian. She’s a political historian. I’m not defending her but you’re also presenting a false image here

Honestly I stopped listening to her after 2024 elections predictions were completely wrong.

I was hoping to see an analysis from someone to the left of HCR. You have some great insights. Thanks

When she said Trump would not win 2024 and I knew he would (professor here and a democrat) I had no further interest in listening to her.

She literally said in the beginning of that video that this is not a deep dive lecture, though she would love to give one. This is just an overview to let you know where things stand, and that verbiage is important and understanding what these words in terms mean.

I follow the Optimist Economy with Kathryn Anne Edwards. She is an economist. She has the facts.
