State of Emergency in US Higher Education
Alan Wald presents an overview of the state of emergency in higher education in the United States that recalls earlier eras of extreme political repression, such as McCarthyism in the 1950s.

Trump, the State, and Global Capital
Trump, the State, and Global Capital
Looking at the early weeks of the Trump regime through a Marxists lens presents a major challenge, but who better to meet it than Steve Maher and Clara Mattei, whose historical analyses of finance capital and the capitalist state have garnered well-deserved praise.

Darkest Los Angeles
Darkest Los Angeles
Dennis Broe leads a group reading of his five Los Angeles novels set in the film-noir period of the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Adam Smith and ‘The Wealth of Nations’
Adam Smith and ‘The Wealth of Nations’
