| Description: An introduction to Marx's critique of political economy. Offers a close reading of volume 1 of Marx's Capital. Marx's understanding of capitalism as a system of accumulation and exploitation allow students a contrasting vision of an economic system based on dispossession, individual choice, and private property. Contemporary issues such as climate change; social and economic crisis; inequalities of race, gender, sexuality, and nation; de-growth; alternative forms of economic organization; and more are reviewed. |
