Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decentre. I'm your host as always, Ricard Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. George Boss. He is Lever Hulmer Early Career Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. And today we're going to talk about his book, Marx and the Politics of Nid.
So Dr. Boss, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Well, thank you very much for having me. It's great to be here.
Okay, so before we get into the Marxian aspect of your book and your work, tell us first, what are needs from the perspective of political science? Yeah, thank you, Roger. And I think the interesting thing about needs is as as an object of like political science study, they are treated as these kind of external realities that we know or discover via one research method or another, right? So we use some sort of empirical inquiry usually to discover what needs are. And then once they are discovered, needs then kind of bear in some way on our politics.
