Module 1: The March of History

Class: The Movement of History

Date & Time: Thursday, July 11, 6:30-8:30PM EST

Description: 

“Capitalism comes dripping from head to toe, from every pore, with blood and dirt.” – Karl Marx 

This session looks at the history of economic and social stages and transformation, situating capitalism as just one period in a long history and interrogating the processes that led to its dominance today. Just as the fall of one economic system gave way to the rise of a new one, we know that capitalism can and will fall, and we must understand its inherent contradictions and failures so that we are prepared to build a new system in its place.
