This third and final series takes up articles on India\, China\, and European colonialism; essays on the Civil War in the United States; documents related to the International Workingmen’s Association; Marx’s classic The Civil War in France and related essays; polemics against Bakunin; and Marx’s correspondence about the rise of the workers’ political party in Germany\, including his Critique of the Gotha Program. \nAll readings are available in the Verso Press anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings. These writings are also available from many other sources in book form and online. \nModerated by David Worley\, a member of the executive committee of the Marxist Education Project and a longtime associate of The Brecht Forum\, where he served a term as co-chair of the Board of Directors. David is a nonsectarian socialist\, active since the 1960s in support of a wide range of peace and social justice causes.

Written during the first global economic crisis but undiscovered for nearly 50 years\, only a few copies reached the West from a limited 1939-40 USSR edition. The work was finally published in English in 1973 as Grundrisse: Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy. \n“The enormous manuscript should be taken for what it is: a frenetic\, and genial\, intellectual note-taking…. The Grundrisse can be seen as a veritable ‘laboratory’ in which we can observe Marx in the very process of unfolding his dialectical investigation of the movement of capitalist social and economic forms.

The course is offered in 11-week segments\, recurring until we have read the entire book (however long that takes). \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.
