The Marxist School of Sacramento
Check our Listen page for links to past lectures.
Classes start September 14, 2010.
Please check our class schedule for details and links to the readings.We'll start with a short but telling article by John Bellamy Foster and Hanna Holleman on "The Financial Power Elite", then a two-part discussion of Marta Harnecker's detailed analysis of "Latin America and Twenty-First Century Socialism" from the summer issue of Monthly Review. Finally we will have a four-part study of Karl Marx's answer to Pierre Proudhon's theories: The Poverty of Philosophy. This is an early work, but Marx's ideas are all here. A lot of Proudhon's theories are making a comeback today, so this is an especially interesting and relevant work. Classes are held at the SMUD Customer Service Center, 6301 “S” St.
