SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume II: The Process of Circulation of Capital
DESCRIPTION:with Mary Boger\nVolume I of Capital is just the beginning of unraveling the underlying laws of capitalist development. In Volume I Marx demystifies “the commodity” by identifying the real sources of the production of wealth\, namely\, the human subject through our labor and nature. Capital subsumes these as commodities which are consumed within the process of production. After solving the form that the production of wealth takes within a society where generalized commodity production prevails under the domination of capital\, Marx takes on the next big question. How the hell can reproduction of society as a whole take place when there is no conscious social planning that ensures that all needs are met and in the necessary proportions such that a continuous reproduction of the conditions of life can take place and reproduce the capitalist relations of production? In Volume II\, The Process of Circulation of Capital\, we discover the solution to this problem while new internal contradictions and instabilities at a societal level inherent to this mode of production are explained. The ground is then laid in combining the laws of motion peculiar to capitalism uncovered in the first two Volumes—The Process of Capitalist Production and The Process of the Circulation of Capital—to the analysis of the third Volume\, The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole. \n \nWe will begin our study of Volume II study by situating this volume in relation to the historical process of development of capitalist society which is premised on its specific social form of societal re-production\, the production of capital. To do so we will study the closing sections of the Penguin edition of Volume I\, specifically\, Part VIII: “So-called Primitive Accumulation” and the “Appendix: Results of the Immediate Process of Production”. \nJoin us as we journey through this movement from the imaginary concrete to the abstract concrete to the real concrete. Come and challenge your way of thinking and understanding the world as it appears to you and begin to identify some of what needs to be overcome and done to bring about a better world. \nMARY BOGER\, an ethnographic researcher\, has been teaching Capital since the first School for Marxist Education opened in 1975. Her major concerns are centrality of labor\, shifts in the global working class\, advancing international solidarity that can challenge the prerogatives of globalized capital and begin to shift our resources and activities towards remediation of nature and reclamation of our human species capacities. Mary has an MA in Economics\, PhD in Sociology (A Ghetto State of Ghettos: Palestinians under Israeli Citizenship). \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Catastrophe and Systemic Change: Learning from the Grenfell Tower Fire and Other Disasters
DESCRIPTION:a presentation by Gill Kernick\nintroduced by Thomas Wensing\nThe GRENFELL TOWER TRAGEDY was the worst residential fire in London since World War II. It killed 72 people in the richest borough of one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Like other catastrophic events before it and since\, it has the power to bring aboutlasting change. But will it? The historical evidence is weighed against ‘lessons being learnt’ in a meaningful or enduring way. In an attempt to understand why\, despite enormous efforts\, we persistently fail to learn from catastrophic events\, the book Catastrophe and Systemic Change uses the details of the Grenfell fire as a case study to consider why we don’t learn and what it takes to enable real systemic change. The book explores the myths\, key challenges and the conditions that inhibit learning\, and it identifies opportunities to positively disrupt the status quo. \nAuthor Gill Kernick will present her powerful analysis of the Grenfell disaster and its aftermath. The recent fire of a tower block is a sharp reminder that there are many residential structures both in the UK and mainland Europe that feature similar hazardous cladding systems which urgently need to be replaced. \nGill Kernick will be introduced by Thomas Wensing who will present a short introduction on the history of social housing in the United Kingdom to familiarize the audience with an idea of the policy context which engendered the conditions in which the Grenfelldisaster took place. \nGILL KERNICK is an internationally experienced strategic consultant specializing in safety\, culture and leadership. She lived on the twenty-first floor of Grenfell Tower from 2011 to 2014. \nTHOMAS WENSING is an architect with 20 years of experience in residential architecture. He teaches a housing studio at Kean University in New Jersey this fall and is a regular contributor to the Marxist Education Project. \n\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/30/milan-mayor-likens-tower-block-fire-to-grenfell-disaster \nCredits for main (building) image:\nBy Natalie Oxford – https://twitter.com/Natalie_Oxford/status/874835244989513729/photo/1\, CC BY 4.0\, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=59913134\nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Diary of a Digital Plague Year with Dennis Broe
DESCRIPTION:Diary of a Digital Plague Year: Corona Culture\, Serial TV and The Rise of The Streaming Services with author Dennis Broe \nDENNIS BROE\, author of Birth of the Binge: Serial TV and The End of Leisure\, will be talking about his new book Diary of a Digital Plague Year: Corona Culture\, Serial TV and The Rise of The Streaming Services. The book offers a blow-by-blow account of the ongoing confinement\, charting the changes in our lives exacerbated by the coronavirus. Corona culture is a digital culture extraordinaire for some\, while for others it has increased panic and terror about being at work. \nThe privileged site for this exploration is serial TV and its new mode of delivery\, the increased power of the streaming services as they attempt to dominate and even throttle global media production in a neoliberal\, privatized attack on publicly financed film and television. The book charts this rise in short bursts that in toto illuminate these rapidly evolving changes in all our lives\, as Adorno’s Minima Moralia meets TV Guide.  \n The talk will touch on the year’s highs and lows including “John Brown’s Maid\,” on the travesty that was The Good Lord Bird; “Coming Undone: The Limits of MeToo” and Nicole Kidman’s power walks in The Undoing; and “Battling ’50s Apartheid One Monster at aTime” in the majestic Lovecraft Country. The year is also recounted in essays on film\, art\, books and Euro- and American Cultural Politics\, all the while asking how to turn this new phase of Digital Disaster Capitalism into a more liberatory (Virtual) Road Ahead. \nHere’s what the critics are saying: \n“With his latest masterwork\, Dennis Broe confirms what some of us already knew: when it comes to parsing and interrogating popular culture\, he has no peer.” —Gerald Horne\, author\, Paul Robeson:  The Artist as Revolutionary \n“Broe’s mastery of history\, economics\, and media let him provide details and insights that few other writers can match. These short\, readable essays offer convincing explanations of the moment in which we live.” —Julia Lesage\, Co-founder and editor of Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media \n“Dennis Broe is one of the most acute critics working today. He has an astounding capacity to reach beyond a specific medium to give us wide-ranging yet deep social\, cultural\, and economic contexts. A triumph” —Toby Miller\, author of A Covid Charter\, a Better World \n “Broe’s blisteringly inciteful commentary isn’t just important\, it’s brave.” —From the Foreward by Redacted Tonight’s Lee Camp \nDENNIS BROE is the author of Birth of the Binge: Serial TV and The End of Leisure and Maverick or How The West Was Lost. His television criticism can be found at Bro on The Global Television Beat. His radio commentary can be heard on his show Breaking Glass onArt District Radio in Paris and on Arts Express on the Pacifica Network in the U.S. He is the author of two novels: Left of Eden\, about the Hollywood blacklist and A Hello to Arms\, about the postwar buildup of the weapons industry. He is currently teaching in the Masters’ Program at the Ecole Superieure de Journalisme in Paris\, has taught at The Sorbonne\, and was a full professor and director of the Media Arts Graduate Program at Long Island University in New York \n\nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Revolution in the Virocene: Near (or Nearing) the End of Time
DESCRIPTION:a presentation by the SITUATIONS COLLECTIVE (PROJECT OF THE RADICAL IMAGINATION)\nThis event is based on the collective work which appears in the current issue of Situations: Project of the Radical Imagination\, Vol. IX\,available at info@radicalimagination.institute \nfrom Pandemic Paper\, no 1                                                                        \n“The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the “state of emergency” in which we live is not the exception but the rule. We must attain to a conception of history that is in keeping with this insight. Then we shall clearly realize that it is our task to bring about a real state of emergency\, and this will improve our position in the struggle against Fascism. One reason why Fascism has a chance is that in the name of progress\, its opponents treat it as a historical norm…”. —Walter Benjamin\, “Theses (VIII) on the Philosophy of History” (1940) \nForeclosing the Political\nCOVID-19 and the emergent virocene has made insurgency explicit in the real State of emergency. We have been awakened from our collective ahistorical and apolitical slumbers. In an instant\, the mantra of there is no alternative has been replaced by whatever happens\, nothing will ever be the same. The ideology that says radical transformation is unrealistic has been irrevocably discredited. The bonds and rituals of everyday life have been loosened\, fragmented and disjointed. What seemed inevitable and iron clad now feels flimsy as nation states globally scramble to find solutions that don’t exist. This opens up a space for thinking\, and for politics. This new situation underscores a critical need for both practical intervention and an attempt at building a convergent philosophy that anticipates the praxis of the future. \nWe have endured over 40 years of the foreclosure of the political and suffered its failures to the limit in which the State and its functioning doesn’t seem to exist except as an appendage of the needs and welfare of the Global corporations. We inhabit a transnational garrison state\, inside the automated logic of a newly formed atomistic\, disoriented\, disembodied populace\, a multitude of chaotic flux without political direction or organization. As we have painfully learned from history\, this kind of situation is capital for right-wing populism with its accompanying authoritarian personalities and\, on the other side\, at best a mild form of ambiguous socialist desire. Our enemies act quickly and often with unified fronts. \nThe SITUATIONS COLLECTIVE collaborators on “Revolution in the Virocene” as Pandemic Paper No. 1 are  Peter Bratsis\, Jeremy Glick\, Bruno Gulli\, Josh Kolbo\, Kristin Lawler and Michael Pelias.

SUMMARY:Urban Displacements and Contemporary Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Governing Surplus and Survival in Global Capitalism\nwith author Susanne Soederberg\n \nIn the 1870s\, Friedrich Engels published a series of articles on “The Housing Question\,” wherein he argued that decent\, secure housing for the working class is incompatible with the commodity nature of urban property and human labor power in the capitalist system\, as the movements of capital inevitably will undermine all piecemeal reforms. Soederberg pushes beyond dominant debates by treating low-rent housing as a unique commodity that provides a necessary place for the societal reproduction of labor power while being integrated into the global dynamics of capitalism. She argues that historical and geographical configurations of monetized governance\, including landlords\, employers and inter-scalar state practices\, have served to reproduce urban displacements and obfuscate their gendered\, class and racialized underpinnings. The outcome is the everyday facilitation and normalization of urban poverty and social marginalization on one side\, and capital accumulation on the other.Berlin\, Dublin\, and Vienna are case studies. \n“What is the role of racialised barriers to housing in changing landscapes of accumulation? How does renting become a central process in disuniting working people? This insightful work guides the reader through this most urgent of debates.” —Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya\, Centre for Migration\, Refugees and Belonging\, University of East London \nSusanne Soederberg\, Professor of Political Economy in Global Development Studies at Queen’s University\, Ontario\, Canada\, is also the author of Debtfare States and the Poverty Industry (2014) and Corporate Power and Ownership in Contemporary Capitalism (2010).

SUMMARY:Looking Over the Abyss with Steven Colatrella and Michael Meeropol
DESCRIPTION:The US and Europe Beyond Capitalism\nEurope and subsequently the United States rose to power and wealth along with the rise of capitalism. But capitalism has now shifted its attention to Asia\, even as the conditions of ordinary workers in Europe and North America decline\, and the political influence of the West wanes. Looking Over the Abyss argues that only by breaking decisively with capitalism\, and aligning themselves with the majority of the world’s people against exploitation\, can the peoples of Europe and the United States save their societies. They must look not into the abyss where capitalism now proposes to plunge them\, but over the abyss\, over the horizon of capitalism\, to an alternative present and future beyond capitalism. This work proposes concrete steps that can be taken to change institutions to move beyond capitalism\, and helps to clarify the meanings of key concepts such as the State\, Nations\, Internationalism\, Capitalism\, Corporation and Class in ways that are practical and useful for social change. \nThis is an original\, insightful and important discussion of the capitalisms found in Europe and North America and the abyss they face against Chinese competition. I found especially  valuable Colatrella’s analyses of the different political histories\, even sociologies of  Europe’s and the US’s different capitalisms. The inability of either to compete with the low standard-of-living capitalism\, now developing particularly in China\, has already created the socio-economic conditions for the rightist\, anti-democratic ‘strong men’ now prospering  in the rest of the capitalist world. For Colatrella\, a renewed socialist advance\, which he well if briefly characterizes\, is the way out of this abyss.  —John McDermott is the author of Restoring Democracy to America and Employers’ Economics versus Employees’ Economy. \nSteven Colatrella is a longtime activist and college professor who has taught at many institutions in both the United States and Italy. He is the author of a book on globalization and immigration\, Workers of the World: African and Asian Migrants in Italy in the 1990s\, (Africa World Press: 2001) and has published articles and essays on capitalism\, corporations\, global governance and class. He lives in northern Italy. \nMichael Meeropol is an economist and author of  Surrender: How the Clinton Administration Completed the Reagan Revolution\, and Professor Emeritus of Economics\, Western New England University.

SUMMARY:Political Economy of Labor Repression in the United States
DESCRIPTION:with author Andrew Kolin\nAndrew Kolin presents a detailed explanation of the essential elements that characterize capital’s relations to the working class and how capital relies on various forms of repressing reform and revolutionary movements by workers. The repression is directly linked to the class struggle between capital and labor. The starting point examines labor repression after the American Revolution. Andrew’s book then follows the role of the state along with the explosive growth of American capitalism to analyze the long history of capital and labor conflict with details of the US state being aligned with the interests of capital throughout American history. \nWholesale exclusion of labor from a fundamental role in framing policy in these institutions was crucial in understanding the unfolding of labor repression. Repression emerges amid a social struggle to acquire and maintain control over policy-making bodies\, which pits the few against the many. In response\, labor attempts to push back against institutional exclusion in part by the formation of labor unions. Capital reacts to such actions using repression to prevent labor from having a greater role in social institutions. For instance\, this is played out inside the workplace as capital and labor engage in a political struggle over the function of the workplace. Given capital’s monopoly of ownership\, capital employs various means to repress labor at work\, including the introduction of technology\, mass firings\, crushing strikes\, and the use of force to break up unions. \n \n  \nThe role of the state is not to be overlooked in its support of elite control over production\, as well as aiding through legal means the growth of a capitalist economy in opposition to labor’s conception of greater economic democracy. Andrew’s work explains how and why the working classes will continue to confront repression by capital in old and new forms as we approach the second quarter of the 21st century. \nAndrew Kolin is professor of political science at Hilbert College. \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Fifth Summer of Noir: Last session this week (Derek Raymond and Denise Mina)
DESCRIPTION:with The Marxist Education Project Literature Studies Group\n“As Georges Bataille tells us\, there is a profound link between literature and evil. If writing and reading are transgressive acts\, or crimes\, which unmask deep philosophical truths about us and our world\, then what does crime fiction — a genre focused on those transgressions — reveal?

This year our six selections will take us deep into the underbelly of capitalism – good for reading at the beach\, on the subway\, a train\, boat or plane\, or in your favorite reading chair safely at home. \nWe have completed our discussions of Drive\, Clark Gifford’s Body\, Dread Journey\, Black Wings Has My Angel and How the Dead Live. \n \nSEPTEMBER 9 • THE LESS DEAD by DENISE MINA\nA story of daughters and mothers\, secrets and choices\, and how the search for the truth—and a long-hidden killer—will lead one woman to find herself. 336 pages \nDenise Mina is a Scottish crime writer and playwright.

DESCRIPTION:with The Marxist Education Project Literature Studies Group\n“As Georges Bataille tells us\, there is a profound link between literature and evil. If writing and reading are transgressive acts\, or crimes\, which unmask deep philosophical truths about us and our world\, then what does crime fiction — a genre focused on those transgressions — reveal?

SUMMARY:Augmented Exploitation: Artificial Intelligence\, Automation\, Work and Changes in the Labor Process
DESCRIPTION:A 6 Week Close-Reading and Discussion series \nConducted with the Capital Studies Group\nIn the Introduction to Augmented Exploitation\, co-editors Phoebe Moore and Jamie Woodcock point up two main problems with how automation and artificial intelligence are being discussed as the end of the first quarter of the 21st century draws near. Number one is the claim that Al is changing the labor process in new and unprecedented ways. But capitalists have always introduced machines in order to increase the amount of what each worker can produce in a given period of time. This is where the second problem comes in—either a certain process will be automated\, or it will not—a binary that focuses on machines and not on the workers who operate them. Rather than the prospects of automation and interpretive learning replacing workers\, we need rather to see that these are augmentations of the labor process. \n  \nAugmented Exploitation is divided into three areas: Making It\, Faking It\, and Breaking It. Going beyond platform work and the gig economy\, the authors explore emerging forms of algorithmic governance and Al-augmented apps that collect data about workers and consumers in innovative ways\, but also to to keep wages and worker representation under control. The contributors to Augmented Exploitation show that workers are not taking these dramatic changes lying down; they present case studies of new and exciting forms of resistance that are springing up across the globe. Join us to learn more of the reality of the impact of Artificial Intelligence (Al) on workers’ lives. \nDuring these six sessions we will also review several articles from this year’s Socialist Register\, Beyond Digital Capitalism: New Ways of Living. In particular\, we will discuss “The Time of Our Lives”\, Bryan Palmer’s essay on capital and temporality\, and Larry Lohmann’s essay on “Interpretive Learning”. Time\, always a frontier of class struggle\, pushed by automation and other digital management controls that are ever-present today\, is now at the forefront of contentious labor-capital relations. Lohmann stresses a number of challenges that interpretation machines have presented to movement organizing and in response argues that it is important to understand the continuities between industrial-era and digital-era value-creation rather than to only focus on the differences. He also emphasizes that the contradiction between living and dead labor that Marx identified not only persists in today’s digital economy\, but also remains fundamental both to understanding crisis and to identifying possibilities for radical political change. \n The CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for more than four years. There are now several groups studying the two volumes of Capital along with an active Grundrisse reading group. We are students\, activists and teachers who have dedicated ourselves to facilitating broad study of current issues of life and work during this late globalized stage of capitalist development in addition to the work we continue to do around Karl Marx’s Capital. \nFor residents of the US and Puerto Rico\, when you purchase the book along with registering for the class there is a $10 savings. This price includes shipping via USPS Media Mail. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Grundrisse
DESCRIPTION:Karl Marx developed his foundational thought and research for Capital in his notes of 1857-58 written during the first global economic crisis.  Undiscovered for nearly fifty years and with only a few copies reaching the West from a limited 1939-40 publication in the USSR\, these notes were first published in English as the Grundrisse:  Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy in 1973. \n\n\nIn the Grundrisse Marx arguably bridges his early writings on philosophy and Hegel\, and the writing and revisions of Capital. We will undertake a close\, word by word reading of the text with a view to understanding the concepts that evolve within it. This first term will begin with the chapter on money. Subsequent sessions on the chapter on capital will comprise two additional following terms. We will be using the current Penguin edition. \n\n\nThe Capital Studies Group has been meeting on and off for seven years. We are a diverse group of students\, activists and teachers who have dedicated themselves to a chronological reading of the Grundrisse and then Volume One through Three of Capital. \n\nWe are using the paperback Penguin edition featuring a foreword by Martin Nicolaus. These first sessions conclude July 24. There will be a two week break with no sessions July 31 or August 7. A continuing Grundrisse group will then meet from August 14 through November 6\, with no session during the Labor Day Weekend. \n  \nAll event and classes are sliding scale.

SUMMARY:Left Populism in Europe: Lessons From Jeremy Corbyn to Podemos
DESCRIPTION:with author Marina Prentoulis\njoined in conversation with Populism European editor  David Broder\nThis book evaluates the transformational process of left populism across grassroots\, national and European levels and asks what we can do to harness the power of broad-based\, popular left politics. While the right is using populist rhetoric to great effect\, the left’s attempts have been much less successful. Syriza in Greece and Jeremy Corbyn’s Labor Party in Britain have both failed to introduce socialism in their countries\, while Podemos has had better fortune in Spain and is now in government with the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party. \nBringing a wealth of experience in political organizing\, Marina Prentoulis argues that left populism is a political logic that brings together isolated demands against a common enemy. She looks at how egalitarian pluralism could transform economic and political institutions in a radical\, democratic direction. \nBut each party does this differently\, and the key to understanding where to go from here lies in a serious analysis of the roots of each movement’s base\, the forms of party organization\, and the particular national contexts. This book is a clear and holistic approach to left populism that will inform anyone wanting to understand and move forward positively during this bleak time for the left in Europe. \n“It’s been a dramatic decade for left-wing political projects in Greece\, Spain\, and the UK. Through personal experience\, a wealth of interviews and analysis\, Prentoulis pulls together an assessment which is vital for anyone who wants to understand the post-crash upsurge of radical politics in Europe.”  —Nick Dearden\, Director of Global Justice Now \n“Rigorously reflecting on the choreography of contemporary left-wing experiments flirting with left populism in crisis-ridden Europe\, Prentoulis offers a challenging first assessment of its political advances\, limitations and potential for left strategy.” —Yannis Stavrakakis\, Professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki\, Greece \nMarina Prentoulis is Associate Professor in Politics and Media at the University of East Anglia. She has been the UK spokesperson of Syriza and has given numerous interviews on British and International media including BBC’s Newsnight and the Andrew Marr Show as well as CNN and Sky News. \nDavid Broder is a Rome-based writer and translator. He is the European editor for Jacobin and regularly writes with a focus on Italy\, including in the journal Internazionale. David is also the author of First They Took Rome: How the Populist Right Conquered Italy (Verso). \n  \nBooks will be available on June 24. \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is denied participation for inability to pay. Events and classes are free for those who write to info@marxedproject.org \n

SUMMARY:WOBBLIES OF THE WORLD: A Global History of the Industrial Workers of the World

Founded in 1905 in Chicago\, it rapidly gained members across the world thanks to its revolutionary\, internationalist outlook. By using powerful organizing methods including direct-action and direct-democracy\, it put power in the hands of workers. This philosophy is labeled as ‘revolutionary industrial unionism’ and the members called\, affectionately\, Wobblies. \nThis book is the first to look at the history of the IWW from an international perspective. Bringing together a group of leading scholars\, it includes lively accounts from a number diverse countries including Australia\, Canada\, Mexico\, South Africa\, Sweden and Ireland\, which reveal a fascinating story of global anarchism\, syndicalism and socialism. \nPETER COLE is Professor of History at Western Illinois University and Research Associate at the Society\, Work and Development Institute\, University of the Witwatersrand. He is the author of Wobblies on the Waterfront (University of Illinois Press\, 2007). \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is denied attendance because of inability to pay.

SUMMARY:Marx’s Inquiry into the Birth of Capitalism: Why Does It Matter?
DESCRIPTION:with John Milios\n“In themselves\, money and commodities are no more capital than are the means of production and subsistence. They need to be transformed into capital.”    —Karl Marx\, Capital\, A Critique of Political Economy\, Volume 1\, Chapter 26\nSince Adam Smith\, political economists\, historians and other social scientists have offered various explanations about the beginnings of capitalism as a mode of production. Their different conclusions imply very different ideas about what capitalism is. In The Origins of Capitalism as a Social System (Routledge paperback\, 2019)\, author John Milios delves deeply into the historical circumstances that turned money and commodities into capital on a systemic scale. In doing so\, he develops theoretical insights into the nature of capitalism as a system of class domination that has swept away all previously existing social relations throughout the world. \nAs Marx argues\, “original accumulation” of capital\, the transformation of pre-capitalist to capitalist social relations\, is not explained by the fairy tale of wise and thrifty household producers getting wealthy by their own labor. John Milios’ research into the “pre-capitalist money owner”\, the role of commodity production (as opposed to production for direct consumption) based on slave labor in the ancient world\, and the development of ”contractual money begetting” production in Europe in the middle ages\, helps us understand what is and is not capitalism. He critically analyzes both Marxist and non-Marxist literature. He uses the rise and fall of the Venetian mercantile republic as a case study. He concludes that “No version of capitalism is the realm of … freedom or justice. Capitalism is a social system in which … coercion guaranteeing economic exploitation of the ruled by the rulers is incorporated into the economic relation itself.” \nJOHN MILIOS is Professor of Political Economy and the History of Economic Thought at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)\, Greece. He has authored more than two hundred papers published or forthcoming in refereed journals (in Greek\, English\, German\, French\, Spanish\, Portuguese\, Italian\, Chinese and Turkish) including the Cambridge Journal of Economics\, History of Political Economy\, History of Economics Review\, Review of Political Economy\, European Journal of the History of Economic Thought\, The American Journal of Economics and Sociology\, Science & Society\, Rethinking Marxism\, Review of Radical Political Economics\, and has participated as invited speaker in numerous international conferences. He has also authored or co-authored some eighteen scholarly books. His most recent books in English are A Political Economy of Contemporary Capitalism and Its Crisis: Demystifying Finance (Routledge 2013\, Paperback Edition 2014\, co-authored with D. P. Sotiropoulos and S. Lapatsioras) and The Origins of Capitalism as a Social System: The Prevalence of an Aleatory Encounter (Routledge 2018). He is director of the quarterly journal of economic theory Thesseis (published since 1982 in Greek) and serves on the editorial boards of four scholarly journals.

SUMMARY:Grundrisse
DESCRIPTION:Karl Marx developed his foundational thought and research for Capital in his notes of 1857-58 written during the first global economic crisis.  Undiscovered for nearly fifty years and with only a few copies reaching the West from a limited 1939-40 publication in the USSR\, these notes were first published in English as the Grundrisse:  Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy in 1973. \n\n\nIn the Grundrisse Marx arguably bridges his early writings on philosophy and Hegel\, and the writing and revisions of Capital. We will undertake a close\, word by word reading of the text with a view to understanding the concepts that evolve within it. This first term will begin with the chapter on money. Subsequent sessions on the chapter on capital will comprise two additional following terms. We will be using the current Penguin edition. \n\n\nThe Capital Studies Group has been meeting on and off for seven years. We are a diverse group of students\, activists and teachers who have dedicated themselves to a chronological reading of the Grundrisse and then Volume One through Three of Capital. \n\nWe are using the paperback Penguin edition featuring a foreword by Martin Nicolaus. These first sessions conclude July 24. There will be a two week break with no sessions July 31 or August 7. A continuing Grundrisse group will then meet from August 14 through November 6\, with no session during the Labor Day Weekend. \n  \nAll event and classes are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay. Write to info@marxedproject.org for more info.

SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume 1\, Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Capital\, A Critique of Political Economy\, Karl Marx\nVolume I: The Process of Production of Capital\nThird Session Covering Chapter 16 thru Chapter 25\nwith Mary Boger \nVolume I of Capital begins the scientific presentation of the laws of motion that underlie the developmental processes that has led to the realities of our contemporary human condition. In only 200-300 years capitalist relations of re/production have absorbed all pre-capitalist societies into its circulation of commodities making all that exists\, whether real or imaginary\, means for investing money to make more money. Private ownership and control over our earth’s natural resources by the owners of capital and separation of the world’s population from any direct access to our conditions of life and what we produce have reduced our human productive activity to a thing that is bought and sold at the bidding of capital. \nUncovering the how\, what and for whom our life processes are determined based on the logic of using money in order to make more money is a journey we need to take if we are to consciously situate ourselves within our given historical process as effective political/social/universal actors. Marx’s scientific presentation of the laws of motion of capitalist development begins by analyzing the fundamental or elemental form which wealth takes in our society\, the commodity. Understanding this form leads us to the most basic law that grounds social reproduction in societies under the domination of capital\, the law of value. Therefore\, in Session I\, our first task was to break through the appearance and reveal the social content of the commodity form\, the beginning of the unraveling of the why and how of what we necessarily\, under the domination and exploitation of capital\, experience every day in our lives. \nThe first four Parts of Volume I revealed the historical process of development that led to industrial capital\, the productive base/infrastructure required for the generalization of the capitalist production of commodities as the dominate social form throughout all our societies and nations today. Session 3\, Chapters 15 through 25\, will trace this development and reveals new dynamics and contradictions inherent to the logic of capitalist accumulation\, culminating in Chapter 25\, The General Law of Capitalist Accumulation. These developmental processes continue to be played out to this day and are witnessed in the immensity of wealth for a few at one pole of humanity\, poverty at another\, ruthless misuse and degradation of nature\, and reduction of the human subject\, the producing masses of real individuals\, to an alienated object for capitalist exploitation. Volume I is essential to understanding the analysis as it is carried out in Volumes II & III. \nNEW STUDENTS: (Please Note) Part I through Four of Volume I lay out the most fundamental concepts and laws of capitalist development and its internal contradictions that are necessary to fully understand all that follows as Marx explicates the dynamics particular to the historical process and dynamics of the production of social life that we are engaged in reproducing in our everyday life\, where the logic of re-production is based on money making more money. The First and Second 12 Week Sessions covering Part I through Part IV have been recorded. They are available to be viewed through the MEP’s Vimeo. Upon registering\, these sessions will be made available\, and I recommend listening to as much as possible\, especially where Chapter 1 begins in in the fourth class of Session 1. \nMary Boger\, political economist (MA) sociologist (PhD)\, and ethnographic researcher. MA Thesis: Marx on the Fetishism of Commodities. Dissertation: A Ghetto State of Ghettos: Palestinians Under Israeli Citizenship. A member of the original founders of the first School for Marxist Education (1975) and its continuation as the New York Marxist School/Brecht Forum (1979-2014) and Mary is now engaged with the work of the MEP. She has been teaching Capital for many years to students of all ages and diverse occupations\, backgrounds and countries of origin. Throughout these four and half decades. Mary has actively participated in movement struggles and solidarity work with a broad range of liberation struggles. \nAll classes and events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay. If you would like to participate but cannot afford the stated fees or any fee at all\, please write to info@marxedproject.org for information on how to participate.
