Proposals for reading groups must be accompanied by full PDFs of required and optional readings.

We particularly welcome reading groups pairing a selection from Marx’s writing on immiseration with more contemporary material(s).

Marx:

• Capital Volume 1 (especially parts 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and the “Results”)

• Capital Volume 3 (especially parts 1, 2, and 3)

• Grundrisse (especially the relevant sections on machinery, the technical composition of capital, the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, and surplus populations from the “Chapter on Capital,” e.g  Sections 2 and 3)
