Jim: This helps me read your books, which I have. It would be even more helpful if you taught a Zoom course on capital and its critics. Really. Then you could direct your students to articles like the one in today's Financial Times, "BlackRock and Microsoft plan $30bn fund to invest in AI infrastructure," and Blackrock CEO Larry Fink's comment, "“Mobilizing private capital to build A.I. infrastructure like data centers and power will unlock a multi-trillion-dollar long-term investment opportunity.”

Hi Bob, glad it helps. (Hope you're doing well.). I've actually thought about a Zoom course on this kind of stuff, although it would be more fun to do social theory writ large. I've talked to Frank Humphrey from that historiography class about the possibility. With your kind suggestion in mind, I'll think about it some more.
