Capitalism: The Insatiable Machine with Trevor Jackson
Join us for a conversation with Trevor Jackson on his book 'The Insatiable Machine: How Capitalism Conquered the World.' Full of memorable characters and lively vignettes as well as sweeping quantitative analysis and historical synthesis, The Insatiable Machine makes clear that capitalism is neither a natural, permanent, nor inevitable feature of human life but rather an economic system that has a history. And just as it was made by people, it can also be unmade by them.

Adam Smith and ‘The Wealth of Nations’
Read and discuss the works of Adam Smith in this ongoing study group. The group is currently reading Book 4 of Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations'. Smith's notion of capital was important to Marx in the development of Marx's understanding of capital, and Marx frequently quoted from Smith in his discussions in Capital and other writings.
Refusal of Work: The Writings of Harry Cleaver
Join editors Robert Ovetz and Kevin Van Meter for a discussion of Points of Departure: Refusal of Work and the Crisis of Capitalism: The Collected Writings of Harry Cleaver, a definitive collection of Harry Cleaver’s best unpublished, translated, or lesser known writings – both historical and current – on the refusal of work, class composition and “inversion of the class perspective,” the crisis of capitalism, and the ongoing necessity of re-reading Marxist theory.
