Conversation with David F. Ruccio on His Blog

This interview with the former editor of Rethinking Marxism discusses David F. Ruccio's long-running, highly successful, and humbly titled blog, Occasional Links & Commentary on Economics, Culture and Society. With thousands of posts and well over a million views, the blog has become a one-person digital magazine of impressively wide reach and sweeping scope. In the conversation, David F. Ruccio reflects on his motivations for initiating and continuing the blog since its move to WordPress in 2009; the role of social media in popularizing Marxian analyses; the (dis)similarities of blogging versus teaching; and many other topics with his trademark erudition and frankness.
