Marxist Forum information

The next Triangle Marxist Forum discussion will be
about what capitalism is and how it works.  It will be
Saturday, June 3rd 1:30-3:30pm in the conference room
downstairs in the Chapel Hill Public Library (100
Library Dr., off of Estes Dr. on the north side, very
close to the intersection with East Franklin St.).

For readings, I suggest the next section from Lenin's
The Teachings of Karl Marx (or just titled Karl Marx)
-Marx's Economic Doctrine, covering value and surplus
value.  Also Marx's Wages, Prices, and Profit in vol.
2 of his Selected Works (or Value, Prices, and Profit
in vol. 20 of his Collected Works).  My course outline
suggests pages 103-149, but that is kind of long, so
we could look at about half of it in June, up to
Section 7.  It is available online at

We could look at the rest next time or move on (the
next outline focuses on macroeconomics, monopoly
capitalism, and imperialism).

I'm still looking for a short article illustrating
these ideas currently.
