SUMMARY:Marx's Capital\, Vol. II - On the Circulation of Capital
DESCRIPTION:In Volume I of Capital\, Marx analyzes the processes of capitalist production and accumulation and identifies the real sources of wealth: nature and the labor performed by working people. In Volume II\, The Process of Circulation of Capital\, he addresses the next big question: How can the reproduction of society as a whole take place\, if there is no conscious social planning that ensures that all needs are met\, in the necessary proportions\, such that life can persist and the capitalist relations of production be sustained? In this study group\, we will discover some answers\, but we will also learn of new contradictions and sources of crisis inherent to capitalist society. Marx ‘s analysis in Volume II lays the groundwork for his system-wide summation in Volume III\, The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole. \nWe welcome all who have a basic knowledge of Volume I of Capital to this study group. Participants read selections on their own each week and meet for clarifying discussions\, guided by experienced students of Marx from the MEP. For certain key and/or difficult sections\, we do line-by-line readings in class. \nFred Murphy facilitates this group. Fred has led several Capital study groups and numerous others 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.

SUMMARY:Reading Marx's Capital\, Volume III
DESCRIPTION:Volume III of Capital – The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole – integrates and completes Marx’s analysis\, enabling us to understand and make sense of how the phenomena we see occurring on the surface of society are related to the underlying system of capitalism. It is essential to understanding the current moment of late capitalist/imperialist development\, in which we see the rise of rentier and finance capital and the commodification of debt; continuously rising prices that bring still more poverty and starvation; new technologies turned into means of extracting rents; the privatization of public spaces\, properties and institutions; and the list goes on. \nParticipants in this long-running study group have been closely reading and discussing Volume III\, using a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we do a line-by-line reading with pauses for questions and commentary. Participants read other sections on their own\, along with occasional supplemental materials such as passages from Beverley Best’s highly praised companion to Volume III\, The Automatic Fetish. The series is nearing completion with study of Part Six on Ground-Rent.\nRegistration is now closed\, but please email info@marxedproject.org if you are interested in further Capital studies. \nFred Murphy facilitates this group. Since 2015 Fred has led numerous MEP study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research and reported from Latin America for several socialist publications.

SUMMARY:Capitalism and the Politics of Nature with Alyssa Battistoni
DESCRIPTION:A video of this November 16\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nIn her new book Free Gifts\, Alyssa Battistoni explores capitalism’s persistent failure to place value on nature. She argues that the key question is not the moral issue of why some kinds of nature shouldn’t be commodified\, but the economic puzzle of why they haven’t been. Why have some things come to have value under capitalism—and why have others not. Recovering and reinterpreting classical economists’ idea of “free gifts of nature\,” Battistoni builds on Karl Marx’s critique of political economy to show how capitalism fundamentally treats nature as free for the taking. She addresses four different instances of the free gift in political economic thought\, each in a specific domain: natural agents in industry\, pollution in the environment\, reproductive labor in the household\, and natural capital in the biosphere. In so doing\, she offers new readings of major twentieth-century thinkers\, including Friedrich Hayek\, Simone de Beauvoir\, Garrett Hardin\, Silvia Federici\, and Ronald Coase. Ultimately\, she offers a novel account of freedom for our ecologically troubled present\, developing a materialist existentialism to argue that capitalism limits our ability to be responsible for our relationships to the natural world\, and imagining how we might live freely while valuing nature’s gifts. \nAlyssa Battistoni is assistant professor of political science at Barnard College. She is the coauthor of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal. Her writing has appeared in The Nation\, the Guardian\, Boston Review\, n+1\, Dissent\, The New Statesman\, Jacobin\, and New Left Review.

SUMMARY:Trump\, the State\, and Global Capital
DESCRIPTION:A video of this April 19\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nA conversation with Steve Maher and Clara Mattei\nIn the early weeks of the Trump administration in the United States we have seen on-again\, off-again tariffs\, bluster against longstanding allies and friendly approaches to erstwhile foes\, alarming threats to civil liberties and press freedom\, accelerating deportations of immigrant workers\, mass firings and layoffs of Federal employees\, dismantling of key Federal agencies\, and indifference toward threats of measles and bird-flu epidemics – and that’s only a partial list. Looking at all this through a Marxist lens presents a major challenge\, but who better to meet it than Steve Maher and Clara Mattei\, whose historical analyses of finance capital and the capitalist state have garnered well-deserved praise. Join us as we engage Steve and Clara in an open-ended conversation aimed at bringing some clarity to the burgeoning chaos that is shaking up U.S. and global capitalism and the imperialist state system. \nStephen Maher is Assistant Professor of Economics at SUNY Cortland\, and Co-Editor of the Socialist Register. With Scott Aquanno he is the co-author of The Fall and Rise of American Finance: From J.P. Morgan to Blackrock. Steve also authored Corporate Capitalism and the Integral State: General Electric and a Century of American Power. \nClara E. Mattei is the author of The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism. She is Professor of Economics and Director of the recently inaugurated Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at The University of Tulsa. She previously taught at the The New School for Social Research and was a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies.

SUMMARY:Reading Capital in an Age of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:A recording of this January 8\, 2025\, event is available on YouTube. \nWhile there is a robust and exploding literature on capitalism as the root cause of climate change\, few have systematically explored Karl Marx’s most important finished work – Volume 1 of Capital – to bring to light the climate repercussions of capital’s “laws of motion.” Volume 1 is of special importance to a Marxist climate politics given the centrality of production in causing climate change itself. Matt Huber highlights the relevance to the climate crisis of key concepts such as value\, the hidden abode of production\, surplus-value\, the accumulation of capital\, primitive accumulation\, and the expropriation of the expropriators.  \nMatt Huber is Professor of Geography and the Environment at Syracuse University and the author of two books\, Climate Change as Class War and Lifeblood: Oil\, Freedom\, and the Forces of Capital.

SUMMARY:The Spectre Still Haunting: Introducing the Revolutionary Politics of Marx and Engels
DESCRIPTION:An introductory 10-week reading group for those just getting acquainted with Marxist ideas\, based on Marx and Engels’ elegant and rousing classic The Manifesto of the Communist Party and Frederick Engels’ Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. We will be guided by China Miéville’s thoughtful\, provocative meditations on the Manifesto\, A Spectre Haunting. While Miéville is best known for his speculative fiction\, he is equally brilliant as a contemporary communist political commentator. \nA manifesto embraces contradiction. It is unafraid of paradox.\nIt provokes and insists and jokes and it’s quite serious. –China Miéville \nFacilitated by David Worley of the MEP’s Revolutions Study Group.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it.
