MARX’S CAPITAL, VOLUME I

Andrew Kliman

Thursdays, Feb. 15 - May 24, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

(No class March 22)

Tuition: $150–$180, sliding scale

This 14-week course is devoted to Volume I of Karl Marx's _Capital: A
critique of political economy_. Marx analyzes the capital relation as a
process of “self-expanding value.” Throughout the course, we will stress
the relevance of this concept to the contemporary expansionism of the
capitalist system and the new movements against global capitalism. The
specific character of Marx's critique of capital, and its differences from
others' critiques, will also be highlighted.We will go through most of the text fairly carefully, but proceed quickly
through some lengthy discussions of factual material – on struggles over the
length of the workday, “machinofacture,” and the historical origins of the
capitalist system – in order to have more time to devote to more difficult
portions of the work. The instructor will provide study questions to assist
students as they work through the text. Students are strongly encouraged to
obtain the Penguin (or Vintage) edition of _Capital_, since this is what
will be cited in class. (The Penguin and Vintage editions are identical in
terms of translation and page numbers.)

Andrew Kliman has taught courses on Volume I and Volumes II & III of Marx’s _Capital_ at the New SPACE. A professor of economics at Pace University, he has written extensively on _Capital_, crisis theory, and value theory. His book, _Reclaiming Marx’s “Capital”: A Refutation of the Myth of Inconsistency_, will be published next month (December 2006). Many of Kliman's writings are available at his website: here.
