Is love a political concept? Can evil be explained -- or be explained away? What's the significance of a proletariat that includes millions of workers who produce not physical things but rather feelings of well-being in the people they help or serve? Michael Hardt discussed his and Antonio Negri's conception of the multitude and its relation to labor, love, and the concept of evil. (Audio not for public mp3 distribution.)
