Is socialism becoming fashionable?
Speaker: Paddy Shannon
For various reasons including global warming, job and housing insecurity, and pessimism about the future, young people are increasingly turning away from capitalism and towards socialist and Marxist ideas, at least according to a right-wing think-tank. Is this a real trend, or a false dawn being touted by excitable media commentators?
Reading Capital as Crisis Theory
Speaker: Mike Schauerte
Marx never completed a planned book on crisis, but the three volumes of Capital can be read as a theory of crisis that reveals the fundamental contradictions that explode (and are temporarily resolved) in a crisis.
