SUMMARY:Book Special Redux! Marx Dead and Alive: Reading Capital in Precarious Times
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to offer Andy Merrifield’s 2020 book\, Marx Dead and Alive: Reading Capital in Precarious Times with a total price of $12.50 including shipping.\n“This enchanting portrait of Marx at work\, with his legendary overcoat and shuffling ways\, is brilliant\,\ninformative\, and beautifully written. Merrifield then puts the insights he derives from reconnecting with\nMarx’s writing to work to illuminate everything from the writings of Gogol and Dickens to the\narchitectural disaster of New York’s Hudson Yards.”\n— David Harvey\, author\, A Companion to Marx’s Capital and Marx\, Capital and the Madness of Economic Reason \n  \n

SUMMARY:Can the Working Class Change the World?
DESCRIPTION:5 Sessions \nCan the Working Class Change the World?\nBy Michael D. Yates\nA new book from Monthly Review Press \nSession 1\nThursday\, February 7\, 5:30 to 7:15\nA discussion with author Michael D. Yates\nSessions 2-5\nMondays\, February 11 through March 4\nAnalysis and discussion of the book\nThe first 10 registered participants in this group will receive a free copy of the book. Contributions to Monthly Review Press are appreciated.\nFrom Monthly Review: \nOne of the horrors of the capitalist system is that slave labor\, which was central to the formation and growth of capitalism itself\, is still fully able to coexist alongside wage labor. But\, as Karl Marx pointed out\, it is the fact of being paid for one’s work that validates capitalism as a viable socio-economic structure. Beneath this veil of “free commerce”—where workers are paid only for a portion of their workday\, and buyers and sellers in the marketplace face each other as “equals”—lies a foundation of immense inequality. Yet workers have always rebelled. They’ve organized unions\, struck\, picketed\, boycotted\, formed political organizations and parties—sometimes they have actually won and improved their lives. But\, Marx argued\, because capitalism is the apotheosis of class society\, it must be the last class society: it must\, therefore\, be destroyed. And only the working class\, said Marx\, is capable of doing that. \nIn his timely and innovative book\, Michael D. Yates asks if the working class can\, indeed\, change the world. Deftly factoring in such contemporary elements as sharp changes in the rise of identity politics and the nature of work\, itself\, Yates wonders if there can\, in fact\, be a thing called the working class. If so\, how might it overcome inherent divisions of gender\, race\, ethnicity\, religion\, location—to become a cohesive and radical force for change? Forcefully and without illusions\, Yates supports his arguments with relevant\, clearly explained data\, historical examples\, and his own personal experiences. This book is a sophisticated and prescient understanding of the working class\, and what all of us might do to change the world. \n“Michael Yates’s passion and respect for the class he came out of delivers a book that is especially accessible without retreating from the complexities and internal contradictions of working class life and organization—a book committed not only to defending workers\, but also to building on their potentials to transform society.”      —Sam Gindin\, former chief economist\, Canadian Auto Workers Union; Packer Visitor in Social Justice\, Political Science\, York University\, Toronto \nOn Thursday\, February 7\, Michael Yates will teleconference with us for a preview and discussion of his important new book. On the four Mondays that follow\, we will read\, analyze and Michael’s book. \nMichael D. Yates is Editorial Director of Monthly Review Press. For more than three decades\, he was a labor educator\, teaching working people across the United States. Among his books are The Great Inequality\, Why Unions Matter\, A Freedom Budget for All Americans (with Paul Le Blanc)\, and The ABCs of the Economic Crisis (with Fred Magdoff). \nThe Capital Studies Group has been meeting on Saturdays for nearly two years. We are a diverse group of students\, activists and teachers who are now dedicating themselves to a chronological reading of all three volumes of Marx’s Capital. \n  \nThe stated fees are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay.\, or
