8-SESSION CLASS BEGINS
Description:
In this class we will read selections of Karl Marx’s Capital Vol. III (Vintage/Penguin) slowly and thoroughly as a text. The class will function as a study group and focus on the key question, “what can we still learn from Marx’s most controversial work?” Does his analysis of capitalism’s proneness to crisis, fictitious capital, the land question, the realm of freedom, etc. still make sense in this postmodern and global world? Is class struggle still the motor of social change? This course is for people who want to answer these questions in a group context and who are curious about rethinking Capital Vol. III. (Penguin/Vintage, translated by David Fernbach with an introduction by Ernest Mandel). This course is for all levels of expertise including the first time reader.
