This week, Jason and Ben continued their conversation with Stephan Hammel of The Measures Taken Podcast about his new book Toward a Materialist Conception of Music History. From the publisher: &quot;This book argues for the relevance, appropriateness, and usefulness of historical materialism to the musicological project. It interrogates the history of encounters between Marxism and music studies — both within and without the Soviet sphere — before staging the missed encounter between classical musicology and Second International Marxism. It concludes with a framework for understanding style history in terms of changes in the forces and relations of musical production.&quot;<a href='https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2684-toward-a-materialist-conception-of-music-history'>https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2684-toward-a-materialist-conception-of-music-history</a><a href='https://www.themeasurestaken.org/'>https://www.themeasurestaken.org/</a><a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/220523/open_sms'>Send us a message (sorry we can&apos;t respond on here).</a><a href='http://patreon.com/theregrettablecentury'>Support the show</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/220523/open_sms">Send us a message (sorry we can&#39;t respond on here). </a><a rel="payment" href="http://patreon.com/theregrettablecentury">Support the show</a> <a href='https://theregrettablecentury.threadless.com/'>Visit the Regrettable Century Merch Shop</a>
