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. 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.

But what if money is the barrier to us achieving ecological sustainability and social equality? After all\, we know how to live sustainably but market-based economies which of necessity are centered on monetary values prevent us from instituting the social and ecological measures required for health and peaceful co-existence among our own and with the other species of this earth. \nSo\, what might a world beyond the discipline and constraints of the market look and feel like? And how would it operate to meet our basic needs? Moving from production for trade (for the market) to production on demand\, activist scholar Anitra Nelson advocates a community mode of production and calls on us to ‘occupy the world’. Come along to hear about and engage in this lively intervention in current debates on postcapitalist futures. \nANITRA NELSON is a global–local activist and Honorary Principal Fellow at University of Melbourne (Australia)\, author of Small is Necessary: Shared Living on a Shared Planet (2018) co-author of Exploring Degrowth (2020)\, co-editor of Life Without Money: Building Fair and Sustainable Economies (2011) and Marx’s Concept of Money: The God of Commodities (1999/2014).

In Das Kapital Karl Marx says commodities emerged in early societies: “where communities have their boundaries\, at their points of contact with othercommunities.” Money then “comes to be attached either to the most important articles of exchange from outside… or to the object of utility which forms the chief element of indigenous alienable wealth.” \nDid this evolution also occur on boundaries of later empires?  We will travel back in time to colonial New England and New York to closely examine Marx’s views on money at the periphery of the British empire. Scarcity of British currency forced many commodities toward the role of “universal equivalent”: Indian corn\, tobacco\, pieces of eight. But it was colonial thirst for luxury commodities like beaver pelts that finally drove an explosive growth in the one money-commodity facilitating that trade: wampum. \nAll traditions in this world became inverted:  Indigenous nations who dominated the wealth in wampum and fur were soon its slave. Wampum had opposite meanings to different actors speaking a polyglot of Algonquian or European tongues. To Narragansettpeople it was a symbol of great spiritual power to bond tribes in fealty. To European fur traders it was a debaser of tribal customs to foster commodity production. To Puritan governors it was a ransom from tribes for penalties and treaties. But to all it was an indispensable bond\, constantly evolving and expanding\, without which society would unravel. \nFor twenty years\, PETER FAY has researched history across dozens of archives\, participating in public art and historical projects as a Marxist public historian at universities\, libraries\, and public forums across New England. He uncovered never-before known histories of Black and Indigenous Revolutionary War veterans\, early millworkers\, and mariners\, during the transformation of enslaved labor to wage slavery in Rhode Island. \nPeter is a co-founder of the Newport Middle Passage Project\, the Jamestown Friends of Black History and sits on the Board of the Jamestown Historical Society. Earlier he held leadership positions in the labor movement in steel\, electrical\, and health care. He retired after a 30-year career in software engineering in commercial and educational institutions\, most recently at Brown University. \nPictured above: European and indigenous fur traders in North America  (Fadden\, 1777\, Wikimedia Commons)\n  URL:https://marxedproject.org/event/wampum-and-the-evolution-of-money-in-colonial-america/2022-01-31/ LOCATION:Online Event – Zoom Meeting CATEGORIES:Capital Studies,Classes/Events,Colonialism,Grundrisse,historical materialism,Money,Political Economy,Seminars and Talks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://marxedproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Wampum_Promo.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Capital Studies Group":MAILTO:info@marxedproject.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
