SUMMARY:Adam Smith and ‘The Wealth of Nations’ Book 2
DESCRIPTION:Join Russell Dale to read and discuss the works of Adam Smith in this ongoing study group. At present the group is reading Book 2 of Smith’s The Wealth of Nations\, which takes up the nature and functioning of capital. Smith’s notion of capital was important to Marx in the development of Marx’s understanding of capital\, and Marx frequently quoted from Book 2 in his discussions in “Capital” and other writings.\n \nWe will read the Oxford University Press edition of the work; the full title is An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1976; General editors: R. H. Campbell and A. S. Skinner; textual editor: W. B. Todd). The book has been republished by The Liberty Fund and made widely available in a two-volume photographic reproduction edition. \nRussell Dale taught philosophy at Lehman College\, CUNY\, for many years but is now retired. He has been a collaborator of the Marxist Education Project since its inception. He is on the Editorial Board of the Marxist journal Science & Society.

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.
