SUMMARY:A People's Guide to Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Summer introductory sessions on the political economy of capitalism\nIn ten weekly sessions we are reading and discussing Hadas Thier’s A People’s Guide to Capitalism: An Introduction to Marxist Economics. This work offers a lively\, accessible\, and timely guide for those who want to understand\, dismantle\, and replace the world of the 1%. Economists regularly promote capitalism as the greatest and most efficient economic and political system ever to grace the planet. Despite the efforts of mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise\, growing numbers have begun to question why this system has produced vast inequality\, recurring war\, and wanton disregard for the destruction of our planet. Hadas Thier’s book develops answers to these questions\, grounded in  key concepts from Marx’s Capital and related works. \n“A People’s Guide to Capitalism is a breath of fresh air on the left. Avoiding the obscure jargon of economics\, Hadas Thier provides a rich\, accessible introduction to how capitalism works. Ranging from exploitation at work to the operations of modern finance\, this book takes the reader through a fine-tuned introduction to Marx’s analysis of the modern economy. Along the way\, Thier combines theoretical explanation with contemporary examples to illuminate the inner workings of capitalism. In addition\, A People’s Guide to Capitalism reminds us of the urgent need for alternatives to a crisis-ridden system.” —David McNally \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy. Fred has led numerous MEP study groups on Marx’s Capital\, political economy\, ecosocialism\, science and technology\, history\, and Latin American politics. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \nRegistration for this study group is now closed.\nFor information contact info@marxedproject.org

SUMMARY:AI versus Labor: Luddism and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Weekly sessions on Tuesdays at 1 pm through December 2024 \nIs Artificial Intelligence (AI\, sic) really the dire threat to the future of humanity as even some of its proponents claim\, or is it a more mundane and familiar threat to working people who face loss of their livelihoods and/or further speed-up and alienation? The entire history of industrial capitalism is punctuated by recurring waves of automation to reduce labor costs and turnover time\, each time provoking strong resistance by the affected workforce. This reading group will probe the history both of AI and computer technology specifically and of working-class resistance to capitalist automation in general. In eight weekly sessions we will read\, discuss\, and critique two recent works: Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job\, by Gavin Mueller; and The Eye of the Master: A Social History of Artificial Intelligence\, by Matteo Pasquinelli. Both are available in paper and eBook format from the publisher\, Verso Books. Additional reading selections will be provided in PDF format. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy. Fred has led numerous study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \nThere is no fee for this eight-week online reading group – RSVP below if you wish to attend and we will send you the Zoom link. A suggested donation of $50 or whatever amount you can afford is welcome and appreciated.

SUMMARY:Animals\, Capitalism\, Marxism:   A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join the authors of two major works on animals and capitalism for an event exploring the potential and limits of Marxist theory for addressing the roles and fates of nonhuman animals\, as well as ways to connect anticapitalist struggles to animal liberation and environmental justice. Dinesh Joseph Wadiwel and Alex Blanchette bring to the Marxist Education Project an ongoing conversation they have been conducting this spring as Visiting Fellows at the Harvard Law School’s Animal Law & Policy Program. Wadiwel is the author of Animals and Capital and Blanchette is the author of Porkopolis: American Animality\, Standardized Life\, and the Factory Farm. Both books have recently been featured in MEP reading groups. \nDinesh Wadiwel is Associate Professor in Human Rights and Socio-Legal Studies at The University of Sydney. He has been active in anti-poverty and disability rights movements. Previous books include The War against Animals and\, as co-editor\, Foucault and Animals (Brill\, 2016). \nAlex Blanchette is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies at Tufts University. He also co-edited How Nature Works: Rethinking Labor on a Troubled Planet\, which analyzes how non-human beings are enlisted into capitalist work regimens. His current research addresses the politics of quitting meatpacking\, based on ethnographic interviews with ex-workers from across the United States. \n

DESCRIPTION:A video of this April 29\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nWith Author Madison Van Oort\nBeneath the success of fast fashion\, a grimmer story is told by Madison Van Oort in Worn Out: How Retailers Surveil and Exploit Workers in the Digital Age and How Workers Are Fighting Back. Going undercover in two of the world’s largest fast fashion stores in New York City\, she observed firsthand how data and surveillance shape the lives of the people who do the actual producing and selling. Van Oort’s interviews with dozens of front line workers and labor activists show how workers are fighting back\, and her research exposes the exploitative reality of retail labor as digital tools lubricate the shift toward just-in-time retail by collecting real-time data on not only customer behavior but also worker performance. Automated scheduling platforms\, biometric time clocks\, and cashier metrics increase these workers’ already heightened insecurity. One of the first ethnographies of this “thriving” industry\, Worn Out pulls open the curtain between production and consumption and reveals the real cost of fast fashion. \nMadison Van Oort is a researcher based in Minneapolis. She received her PhD from the University of Minnesota in 2018\, and her academic writing has appeared in the journals Critical Sociology\, Ethnography\, and Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society as well as the anthology Captivating Technology: Race\, Carceral Technoscience\, and Liberatory Imagination in Everyday Life. Worn Out is her first book. \nWorn Out is available from the publisher\, MIT Press.

SUMMARY:Facebooking the Anthropocene with Bob Ostertag
DESCRIPTION:Watch the video of this September 27\, 2022\, event on YouTube. \nBob Ostertag’s new book\, Facebooking the Anthropocene in Raja Ampat: Technics and Civilization in the 21st Century\, offers a deeply intimate portrait of the cataclysmic shifts between humans\, technology\, and the so-called natural world. Amid the breakneck pace of both technological advance and environmental collapse\, he explores how we are changing as fast as the world around us—from how we make music\, to how we have sex\, to what we do to survive\, and who we imagine ourselves to be. And though the environmental crisis terrifies and technology overwhelms\, Ostertag finds enough creativity\, compassion\, and humor in our evolving behavior to keep us laughing and inspired as the world we are building overtakes the world we found. \nBob Ostertag is a true polymath who has covered wars in Central America\, recorded dozens of music projects\, and published books on startlingly eclectic subjects. He fuses his travels as a touring musician with his journalist’s eye for detail and the long view of a historian. \nBook available from PM Press.

SUMMARY:The End of Capitalism: The Thought of Henryk Grossman
DESCRIPTION:A presentation and discussion with author Ted Reese\nFrom the Introduction\nHenryk Grossman is a name most socialists or students of political and social theory\, let alone the mass of working people around the world\, have probably never heard of. Yet Grossman\, a Polish Jew born in 1881\, deserves recognition as the most sophisticated proponent since Karl Marx of a devastating claim about the nature of our social world. For\, if Grossman’s neglected but brilliant insight into economics is correct\, then capitalism – the social system that has dominated life all over the globe for the past few centuries – may well be entering what he called its ‘final breakdown’. \nThe claim that capitalism is unsustainable has been ridiculed since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Capitalists declared ‘the end of history’ – their system had proven to be the stronger and would go on uncontested until the heat death of the universe. The same view dominated after the 1883 death of Marx\, whose three-volume masterpiece Capital exposed capitalism as a crisis-ridden and historically transient economic system (mode of production). \nFor the next half century even Marx’s self-proclaimed successors either declared capitalism to be crisis-free and inexhaustible\, or formulated flawed theories of crisis and collapse that did not support their own claims. Against the grain\, Grossman dedicated himself to restoring the basis of scientific socialism. In 1929 he illuminated Marx’s insights with a rare clarity and wit in his own great work\, The Law of Accumulation and Breakdown of the Capitalist System\, published in 1929. \nThe book received an almost universally hostile reception. Attacked by both reformist social democrats and revolutionary communists\, Grossman stood accused of promoting a ‘mechanical’ or ‘automatic’ theory of socialism’s ‘inevitable’ victory over capitalism that underplayed the importance of class struggle. \nTED REESE is a British Marxist in the tradition of Henryk Grossman. In Reese’s first book\, Socialism or Extinction: Climate\, Automation and War in the Final Capitalist Breakdown (2019) he argues: that capitalism is the cause of and can only continue to accelerate the existential climate crisis; that socialism and a plant-based (mainly hemp and mycelium) industrial revolution are required to save the planet’s habitability; that automation is abolishing the source of profit; and that the descent into negative interest rates indicates that capitalism is now entering its final crisis\, meaning that socialism is becoming an economic necessity for the first time – but that the crisis also threatens the greatest world war to date between the imperialist powers.

SUMMARY:Platform Socialism: How to Reclaim Our Digital Future from Big Tech
DESCRIPTION:With author James Muldoon\nA bold new manifesto for digital technology after capitalism\n“A punchy analysis of the platform economy that offers more than a critique of big tech’s vision of our collective future. Muldoon sketches  the contours of a democratic socialist alternative.”\n— Aaron Benanav\, Researcher at Humboldt University of Berlin and author of Automation and the Future of Work \n“Encourages us to open our minds fully to the possibility of an alternative future\, in which technology is put to work for the many\, not the few’\n— Lizzie O’Shea\, lawyer and author of Future Histories \nWhoever controls the platforms\, controls the future. Platform Socialism sets out an alternative vision and concrete proposals for a digital economy that expands our freedom. Powerful tech companies now own the digital infrastructure of twenty-first century social life. Masquerading as global community builders\, these companies have developed sophisticated new techniques for extracting wealth from their users. \nJames Muldoon shows how grassroots communities and transnational social movements can take back control from Big Tech. He reframes the technology debate and proposes a host of new ideas from the local to the international for how we can reclaim the emancipatory possibilities of digital platforms. Drawing on sources from forgotten histories to contemporary prototypes\, he proposes an alternative system and charts a roadmap for how we can get there. \n JAMES MULDOON is a Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Exeter\, Head of Digital Research at Autonomy\, and YouTube philosopher at Political Philosophy. He also works directly with digital businesses transitioning to fair work practices. His writing has appeared in the Guardian\, Time magazine and the Huffington Post.  \nFor a discount on James’ book: plutobooks.com\nDiscount code: MEP\nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Animals and Capitalism:
 Reading and Reflecting on ‘Porkopolis’
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Terike Haapoja and Fred Murphy\nA discussion and reading group on the central role of nonhuman animals in the capitalist economy\, both historically and today. We will explore the potential and limits of Marxist theory for addressing the roles and fates of nonhuman animals\, as well as ways to connect anticapitalist struggles to animal liberation and environmental justice. \nThe main reading will be Alex Blanchette’s Porkopolis: American Animality\, Standardized Life\, and the Factory Farm\, with supplemental texts on nonhuman animal work in the history of capitalism\, Marxism and animal liberation\, biological reproduction in animal agriculture\, and related topics. Through these readings we will explore how exploitation of animal bodies and the labor of nonhuman animals is bound up in the exploitation of human workers and the overall development of capitalism. Author Alex Blanchette will be joining us on March 9 to introduce his book. \nTerike Haapoja is a visual artist based in New York. Her interdisciplinary practice includes installations\, videos\, writings and collaborative projects that explore our relationship with the more-than-human world; mechanisms of exclusion and inclusion; and the possibility of political multispecies alliances. She is an adjunct professor at Parsons Fine Arts and New York University. \nFred Murphy has led numerous study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \n  \n  \nSix more sessions remain \n
