Gathering no. 5: Capital: So-Called Primitive Accumulation
Where does capitalism come from? How does it take shape? When did workers become “free” in the sense of having nothing else to sell but their labor power? This reading group intends to explore Part 8 of Capital I by Karl Marx to (hopefully) help us sketch some answers to the above questions. In Part 8, Marx provided a historical account of the commodity form.
Organizer: Thu Nguyen (CCC Programmer)
“Gatherings” is a series of informal reading sessions where members get together in person and/or online to discuss a text/theorist/critical issue of common interest.
