'Das Kapital' reading group in Cork

[bolshevik]

Starting in Solidarity Books on Thursday the 16th of June is a reading group for Karl Marx's Capital (or 'Das Kapital' in the original German) Volume 1. For 13 Thursdays we will work our way through the book with the help of David Harvey's 'Capital' lecture series, available here: http://davidharvey.org/reading-capital/. Whatever your politics, you're welcome to come along and engange with this massively important piece of work.

Marx's Capital can be downloaded online and Solidarity Books is also ordering several copies (the version whose page numbers David Harvey refers to in the lecture series). If you'd like to reserve one of them, leave a comment on the facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=134096776667657) or call into Solidarity Books.

You program is laudable but probably ambitious judging by our efforts here. You might perhaps consider giving people two weeks between lectures.

There's a useful set of links to Marx and Harvey here ----

I still live in hope that our Capital thread will take on a second wind.

Well its not my programme. I'm just attending, it is the WSM who are organising the reading group. I do wonder if weekly is too aggressive for people - we will see. I'm sure if the participants find weekly too frequent we will be able to change it.

I'll try to remember to feed in anything interesting that comes up in the reading group

That might give us a kick and get us going again ...:)

It's quite hard going, but I think that weekly might keep the impetus going.
That, plus trying to relate it to current events.

Can't somebody stop them...?
