SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume 1
DESCRIPTION:with Mary Boger\nCapital: A Critique of Political Economy\, Karl Marx\nBook I: The Process of Production of Capital\nTHE NEW PRICING IS FOR THE REMAINING FOUR CLASSES. \nVolume I of Capital begins the scientific presentation of the laws of motion that underlie the developmental process 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 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. Our concepts about what constitutes the economy\, the state\, politics\, the individual\, class\, and our relation to nature are filtered through the lens of the dominant ideology and the realities of the everyday life where buying and selling is the norm and vehicle by which we must adapt in order to survive. This is simply how the world works. The notion that a market economy based on money making more money is a natural state of affairs and is good for society as a whole is generally accepted—including by members of the working class. This has been especially so in the U.S.\, in spite of the fact that they must each individually sell their capacity to work to a particular capitalist in order to acquire their means of subsistence or face homelessness\, destitution or criminality. \nMarx’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\, our first task will be to break through the appearance and reveal the social content of the commodity form. This begins the unraveling of the why and how of what we necessarily\, under the domination and exploitation of capital\, experience every day in our lives. \nIf you are joining this class after November 1\, you can write to info@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com and request the PDFs for this Capital\, Vol. 1 class. There will be two more Volume 1 classes following this with the goal being to finish all of Volume One by mid-June. \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. Mary has actively participated in movement struggles and solidarity work with a broad range of liberation struggles. \n  \nAll tickets are sliding scale. As there have already been several sessions there is a fee reduction reflected on the site. No one denied participation for inability to pay.

SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume 1
DESCRIPTION:CLASS & DISCUSSION with CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP\nKarl Marx’s Capital remains the fundamental text for understanding how capitalism works. By unraveling the commoditized forms of our interactions with nature and each other\, it provides tools to understand capitalism’s astounding innovativeness and productivity\, intertwined with growing inequality and misery\, alienation\, stunting of human potential\, and ecological destruction all over the globe. In this way\, Capital offers the reader a methodology for doing our own analysis of current developments. We will conclude Volume One this term and begin our first 12-week session on Volume Two on Saturday\, April 27. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for two years. We are a diverse group of students\, activists and teachers who are have dedicated themselves to a chronological reading of all three volumes of Marx’s Capital. Newcomers are encouraged to join when your schedule permits. \nNo one turned away for inability to pay

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.

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
