Event tomorrow: New translation of Karl Marx's "Capital"

Dear all,

Hope you’re all starting a pleasant Sunday, enjoying the freshness of Autumn. Join us tomorrow for an event on Marx and more.

Monday Event: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK
“Marx’s Capital”: Paul North and Paul Reitter in conversation with Andrés Saenz de Sicilia

In this event, Paul North and Paul Reitter will discuss their new translation of Karl Marx’s Capital vol.1, the first translation into English to be based on the last German edition revised by Marx himself. The conversation will explore the many aspects of Marx’s challenging and powerful magnum opus, in what sense we might think of Marx as a philosopher, the complicated theoretical and political legacies of Capital and the continuing relevance of Marx’s ideas for understanding contemporary capitalism, more than 150 years after Capital was first published.
