In fact\, however\, they are the material conditions to blow this foundation sky-high…” —Karl Marx\, Grundrisse \nKarl Marx developed his foundational thought and research for Capital in the notes of 1857-58\, published posthumously as the Grundrisse (approximately translated as “rough draft”). Written during the first global economic crisis but undiscovered for nearly 50 years\, only a few copies reached the West from a limited 1939-40 USSR edition. The work was finally published in English in 1973 as Grundrisse: Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy. \n“The enormous manuscript should be taken for what it is: a frenetic\, and genial\, intellectual note-taking…. The Grundrisse can be seen as a veritable ‘laboratory’ in which we can observe Marx in the very process of unfolding his dialectical investigation of the movement of capitalist social and economic forms. It is thus an ideal text for stimulating a discussion about the articulation and development of the Marxian critique of political economy.”  —Ricardo Bellofiore et al.\, In Marx’s Laboratory \nWe meet weekly to conduct a careful\, page by page reading of the text\, with a view to understanding the concepts that evolve within it. During the winter and spring 2023 we will be reading the final notebook\, number VII\, which begins with the widely discussed “Fragment on Machines.” \nThe MEP’s CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP have been reading together for six years. Newcomers are encouraged to join – prior knowledge of Capital and related works is helpful but not required.

To truly appreciate Marx’s thinking\, there is no substitute for a close reading of Capital: A Critique of Political Economy\, Marx’s sustained effort to describe and explain the origin and trajectory of modern society: of “capitalism\,” a system of production that now dominates the most remote corners of the globe. Marx was arguably the first writer on the subject to immerse himself not only in theories of political economy but in concrete economic and sociological data (such as it was at the time). The study of Capital is at the core of the Marxist Education Project. \nParticipants in this class will closely read and discuss Marx’s Capital\, volume 1\, guided by Lisa Maya Knauer and other experienced students of Marx from the MEP. We will use a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we will do a line-by-line reading with commentary and occasional supplemental materials. Participants will read other sections on their own\, and we will summarize and discuss when we meet.

To truly appreciate Marx’s thinking\, there is no substitute for a close reading of Capital: A Critique of Political Economy\, Marx’s sustained effort to describe and explain the origin and trajectory of modern society: of “capitalism\,” a system of production that now dominates the most remote corners of the globe. Marx was arguably the first writer on the subject to immerse himself not only in theories of political economy but in concrete economic and sociological data (such as it was at the time). The study of Capital is at the core of the Marxist Education Project. \nParticipants in this class will closely read and discuss Marx’s Capital\, volume 1\, guided by Lisa Maya Knauer and other experienced students of Marx from the MEP. We will use a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we will do a line-by-line reading with commentary and occasional supplemental materials. Participants will read other sections on their own\, and we will summarize and discuss when we meet. The course is offered in 11-week segments\, recurring until we have read the entire book (however long that takes). \nLisa Maya Knauer has been involved with Marxist education in New York for her entire adult life\, and has taught a variety of classes at the MEP and its predecessors. Her current activist work focuses on immigrant workers’ rights and indigenous struggles for land and water. In her day job\, she is a tenured radical at a public university. \n  \nReview the MEP’s Privacy Policy URL:https://marxedproject.org/event/reading-marxs-capital-volume-i/2023-02-05/ LOCATION:Online Event – Zoom Meeting CATEGORIES:Accumulation of Capital,Capital Studies,Class,Classes/Events,Crisis,Das Kapital,Enclosures,England,historical materialism,Intro to Marxism,Labor Process,Marx,Marx and Hegel,Marx's Capital,Marxist Method,Modernity,Money,Multi-session Classes,Political Economy,Science and Method,Social Reproduction,Transition from Capitalism ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://marxedproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Banksy-Capitalism-edit.png ORGANIZER;CN="Capital Studies Group":MAILTO:info@marxedproject.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20230204T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20230204T130000 DTSTAMP:20260616T035929 CREATED:20220403T022414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230109T195246Z UID:10007124-1675508400-1675515600@marxedproject.org SUMMARY:Marx's Grundrisse: Notebook VII DESCRIPTION:“Forces of production and social relations – two different sides of the development of the social individual – appear to capital as mere means\, and are merely means for it to produce on its limited foundation.

Written during the first global economic crisis but undiscovered for nearly 50 years\, only a few copies reached the West from a limited 1939-40 USSR edition. The work was finally published in English in 1973 as Grundrisse: Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy. \n“The enormous manuscript should be taken for what it is: a frenetic\, and genial\, intellectual note-taking…. The Grundrisse can be seen as a veritable ‘laboratory’ in which we can observe Marx in the very process of unfolding his dialectical investigation of the movement of capitalist social and economic forms. It is thus an ideal text for stimulating a discussion about the articulation and development of the Marxian critique of political economy.”  —Ricardo Bellofiore et al.\, In Marx’s Laboratory \nWe meet weekly to conduct a careful\, page by page reading of the text\, with a view to understanding the concepts that evolve within it.
