SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Part II\, Surveys From Exile
DESCRIPTION:At Karl Marx’s burial\, his lifelong friend Frederick Engels said that he was “above all\, a revolutionist.” Yet\, after 150 years\, his critique of political economy is arguably better understood and respected than his political theory of working-class revolution. This is ironic since Marx intended his critique of capitalist economies to be the intellectual buttress for his theory of revolution. Marx never wrote a work on political theory comparable to Capital. Perhaps because of this\, his ideas about the state\, governments\, political struggles\, and social revolutions have been propounded and interpreted in many ways by many different parties. This group is reading and discussing original texts by Marx and Engels about their theory of class struggles as the motive force of human social evolution and the modern working class as the political antagonist of the capitalist system. That class has the power\, by abolishing itself\, to usher in a society beyond class exploitation. The primary text is the anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings\, three volumes in one\, recently published by Verso. \nThis group began in fall 2022 and completed part 1 of the text\, covering the Communist Manifesto and Marx’s commentary on the 1848 revolutions in Europe as they unfolded. In this part 2\, we will be reading the “Surveys From Exile” section\, which begins with “The Class Struggles in France 1848-1850” and takes us through Marx’s articles on the Civil War in the United States. \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.

SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Social Classes\, Revolution\, and Human Freedom
DESCRIPTION:At Karl Marx’s burial\, his lifelong friend Frederick Engels said that he was “above all\, a revolutionist.” Yet\, after 150 years\, his critique of political economy is arguably better understood and respected than his political theory of working-class revolution. This is ironic since Marx intended his critique of capitalist economies to be the intellectual buttress for his theory of revolution. Marx never wrote a work on political theory comparable to Capital. Perhaps because of this\, his ideas about the state\, governments\, political struggles\, and social revolutions have been propounded and interpreted in many ways by many different parties. This group will read and discuss original texts by Marx and Engels about their theory of class struggles as the motive force of human social evolution and the modern working class as the political antagonist of the capitalist system – the class that has the power\, by abolishing itself\, to usher in a society beyond class exploitation. The primary text is the recently published anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings with introduction by David Fernbach (Verso – 3 volumes in one\, in paperback and e-book). We will also read extensively from Hal Draper’s Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution\, vol. 2\, The Politics of Social Classes (MR Press; paper-back and e-book). Note that the Marx writings are available in many other places. \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.

SUMMARY:Robert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Global Turbulence: A Close Reading and Discussion\nConvened by Sam Salour\n\nRobert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence: The Advanced Capitalist Economies from Long Boom to Long Downturn\, 1945-2005 (1998\, rev. 2006) remains among the best accounts of the evolution of advanced capitalist economies since the Second World War. His analysis of the long downturn\, although strongly criticized by certain Marxists\, proved able to account not only for the great recession but also for the global economic stagnation ever since. Even bourgeois scholars of different persuasions – whether neoclassical\, neo-Keynesian\, post-Keynesian or Kaleckian – now acknowledge that the dynamism of the advanced capitalist economies has been slowing dynamism ever since the 1980s.\n\nWe are engaging in a close reading of the text with extensive discussion. We read 10 to 15 pages in each session and expect to finish the book in 6 months. We will follow up with a reading of Brenner’s The Boom and The Bubble and his article “What is Good for Goldman Sachs is Good for America\,” in which he extends his analysis to account for the Great Recession.\nRobert Brenner is professor emeritus of history and director of the Center for Social Theory and Comparative History at UCLA. His influential article\, “Agrarian Class Structure and Economic Development in Pre-Industrial Europe\,” imprinted his name on a central debate concerning the origins of capitalism – the Brenner Debate. \nNo prerequisites nor any preparation is required.
