The next Triangle Marxist Forum meeting is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 22nd 1:30-3:30pm in the conference room (downstairs from the lobby, to the left).
The topic of the meeting is monopoly capitalism and imperialism. I'm not sure about the readings yet, but they will probably include some of Imperialism by Lenin (which could still be in print and is probably available online at www.marxists.org or elsewhere online). The rest of the last Marx reading would be useful to read, but I'm not sure that it will come up directly.
At the last meeting we had 5 participants (and almost another person), and two new people. We started with the Lenin reading and then discussed some issues from the Marx reading or contemporary events, such as why groceries are cheaper in Brazil than in the Triangle and recent US economic history, and a study outline (the question of how a market does not gear production to meet demand).
