Hello and welcome to Politics Theory Other, a podcast from Tribune magazine. My guest today is David

Wearing. We spoke about the defence, security and international trade policies of the Labour and

Conservative Manifestos and what the implications of the election result are for those at the

One that you might like to check out is Marx, Women and Capitalist Social Reproduction by

The book is available now from Haymarket Books as part of the historical materialism series.
