The Necessity of Social Control by István Mészáros
Online: Zoom link will be provided to registered participantsDuring these remaining eight sessions we will do an ongoing close reading of Mészáros’ The Necessity of Social Control (Monthly Review Press).

We aim to develop our own knowledge of the necessary conditions for emancipation and discuss the relevance of the text for our lives today.
