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:Social Reproduction Theory with Lisa Maya Knauer
DESCRIPTION:This six-week reading group\, facilitated by Lisa Maya Knauer\, will focus on one of the germinal texts of social reproduction theory: Lise Vogel’s groundbreaking 1983 work\, Marxism and the Oppression of Women: Toward a Unitary Theory. Marx argued that capital accumulation depends not only upon the production of goods and the extraction of surplus value\, but also on the reproduction of capitalist social relations and above all of the class of people who have nothing to sell but their labor power. Social reproduction theory analyzes the processes whereby working classes and their conditions of life are sustained over time. Marx only sketched the concept in very broad terms\, but it was taken up and expanded upon by Marxist and radical feminists in the 1970s and 1980s. Vogel and others argued that women’s oppression under capitalism is linked to their role in social (as well as biological) reproduction. We will supplement Vogel’s classic work with some early writings by the Wages for Housework campaign and more recent scholarship\, including a newly published collection of Lise Vogel’s essays\, The Contested Domain. Some familiarity with Marxist and/or feminist theory is helpful but not essential. \nLisa Maya Knauer stumbled across the writings of the Wages for Housework campaign in the mid-1970s when she was a college student. A few years later\, she started reading Marx’s Capital at the MEP’s predecessor\, the School for Marxist Education. She is a co-founder of the MEP and has led our Capital Volume I reading groups for the past few years. In her day job\, she is a tenured radical at a public university. \nRegistration for this group is now closed. Contact info@marxedproject.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Slavery and Capitalism: A Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a nine-session reading group on David McNally’s recently published Slavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History. McNally’s book presents a systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery to support the provocative claim that enslaved labor in the plantation system is a form of capitalist commodity production. Weaving together history\, political economy\, and radical abolitionism\, McNally demonstrates that plantation slaves formed a modern working class and highlights the self-activity of enslaved people fighting for their freedom. He reframes their resistance as labor struggles over production and reproduction\, with significant implications for US and Atlantic history and for understanding the roots of racial capitalism. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy. Over the past decade\, Fred has led numerous MEP study groups on political economy\, ecosocialism\, science and technology\, and Latin American politics. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \nEnrollment for this study group is now closed.

SUMMARY:Animals and Capitalism: Metabolic Labor
DESCRIPTION:Final session\, December 16 \nA study group on nonhuman animals’ relationship with capital as living\, breathing\, “commodified” beings. What differentiates nonhuman animals from non-living commodified objects is the way their metabolic and reproductive capacities are harnessed in production. A vibrant discourse is currently emerging around the question of nonhuman labor and the ways in which non-waged forms of labor contribute to value accumulation under capitalism. In this study group\, we will focus on how metabolic labor has been theorized in feminist studies and contemporary Marxist environmental and animal studies\, with a specific focus on the particular function of nonhuman animals for capitalism. We will consider how harnessing and enhancing the metabolic labor of nonhuman animals is connected to fields such as waste management\, biomedical research\, big data\, and the reproduction of the human labor force. \nConvened by Gizem Haspolat and Terike Haapoja. Gizem holds a PhD in Anthropology and specializes in critical animal studies\, animal geographies\, and human-nonhuman animal relations. In her dissertation research\, she explored live animal trade as a site that intensifies the translations between ‘animal’ and capital\, through an investigation of live cattle imports in Turkey. Her current research project examines the application of ‘smart’ technologies and artificial intelligence in industrial agricultural settings. Terike is a visual artist based in Berlin. Her interdisciplinary practice includes installations\, videos\, writings\, and collaborative projects that explore our relationship with the more-than-human world. Her current research on animal labor and multispecies anticapitalist struggle\, with an extensive open bibliography\, can be found on animalcapitalism.org.

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.

We discover the answer\, but we also learn of new contradictions and sources of crisis inherent to capitalist society. Marx thereby lays the groundwork for the system-wide analyses 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 ongoing weekly study group. Participants are closely reading and discussing Volume II\, guided by Fred Murphy and other experienced students of Marx from the MEP. We use a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we do a line-by-line reading with commentary and occasional supplemental materials. Participants read other sections on their own\, and we summarize and discuss when we meet. The series is ongoing until we have read the entire book. At present we are reading Part Three\, “The Reproduction and Circulation of the Total Social Capital.” \nFred Murphy facilitates this group. Fred has led numerous study groups 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. \nRSVP below to join the group in progress. There is no registration fee but a suggested donation of $50 or whatever amount you can afford will help support the work of the MEP.

SUMMARY:Animals\, Capitalism\, Marxism:   A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join the authors of two major works on animals and capitalism for an event exploring the potential and limits of Marxist theory for addressing the roles and fates of nonhuman animals\, as well as ways to connect anticapitalist struggles to animal liberation and environmental justice. Dinesh Joseph Wadiwel and Alex Blanchette bring to the Marxist Education Project an ongoing conversation they have been conducting this spring as Visiting Fellows at the Harvard Law School’s Animal Law & Policy Program. Wadiwel is the author of Animals and Capital and Blanchette is the author of Porkopolis: American Animality\, Standardized Life\, and the Factory Farm. Both books have recently been featured in MEP reading groups. \nDinesh Wadiwel is Associate Professor in Human Rights and Socio-Legal Studies at The University of Sydney. He has been active in anti-poverty and disability rights movements. Previous books include The War against Animals and\, as co-editor\, Foucault and Animals (Brill\, 2016). \nAlex Blanchette is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies at Tufts University. He also co-edited How Nature Works: Rethinking Labor on a Troubled Planet\, which analyzes how non-human beings are enlisted into capitalist work regimens. His current research addresses the politics of quitting meatpacking\, based on ethnographic interviews with ex-workers from across the United States. \n

SUMMARY:Commons\, Commoning\, Communism
DESCRIPTION:Various forms of commoning\, some traditional and some not\, provided the proletariat with means of survival in the struggle against capitalism. Commoning is a basis of proletarian class solidarity\, and we can find this before\, during\, and after both the semantic and the political birth of communism. –Peter Linebaugh\nBefore the advent of capitalism\, much of humanity produced their immediate livelihoods on lands and with tools to which they either had rights of use or held as individual property. All that came to a violent end with what Marx preferred to call the “original expropriation” (often misleadingly termed “primitive accumulation”) whereby the producers were deprived of access and the commons were enclosed. Peasants and artisans mounted strong resistance over centuries but in the end a propertyless proletariat emerged in countryside and city in England and other countries where capitalism triumphed. Such struggles continue down to the present\, however\, as working people continue to challenge new forms of expropriation such as intellectual-property laws\, private patents on seeds and other life forms\, displacement of urban communities\, extortion through petty fines and regressive taxation\, and seizures of land and water for mining and other profitable purposes. This reading group will explore the historical roots and persistence of such crimes and resistance by reading together The War Against the Commons\, by Ian Angus; Stop\, Thief! by Peter Linebaugh; and related texts. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight of the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group.

SUMMARY:Reading Marx’s Capital\, Volume I (second series)
DESCRIPTION:Covering Parts III and IV of Capital\, volume 1\nJoin us in a close reading of Volume 1 of Marx’s Capital – already in progress – guided by an experienced team led by Lisa Maya Knauer. This spring\, we are reading Parts III and IV\, on the production of absolute and relative surplus value. Each week\, we recap the passages covered at the previous session\, introduce new material\, and open up a discussion. We read the more challenging sections together a paragraph or two at a time. Supplementary materials and/or questions for reflection are circulated prior to each week’s session\, and the conversation continues in the group’s Slack channel. \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. \nReview our Privacy Policy

SUMMARY:Iran Awakening II: More Novels by Iranian Women
DESCRIPTION:I speak from the deep end of night.\nOf end of darkness I speak.\nI speak of deep night ending.\n – From “The Gift” by Forugh Farrokhzad\nThe spring 2023 series of the MEP Literature Group continues to focus on Iranian women writing since the 1978-79 Revolution whose stories are set inside Iran. We have compiled a reading list from an essay by Niloufar Talebi\, “100 Essential Books by Iranian Writers: An Introduction & Nonfiction\,” published on the Asian American Writers’ Workshop website. As we read\, one question we will keep in mind is that posed by Talebi: How does the publishing market limit Americans’ understanding of Iranian efforts? \nOver eight weeks we will read novels set in the period since the 1979 revolution. More information… \nEveryone is welcome!
