Capital Volume 1 reading group

We're planning a series of review sessions for Chapter One starting on the 2nd of November.

Many people are aware that Karl Marx’s Capital has a lot to say about the world we find ourselves in. However, many new readers find wading through the first volume’s text too much of a struggle and put the book down soon after picking it up.

In particular, the first six chapters present a frustrating hurdle to many readers. We are currently running a weekly reading group in Glasgow, covering (for now) those six chapters, to give participants the chance to understand the argument in Capital for themselves. Reading Capital in a group is an effective way to understand the book.

This reading group aims not to cover as much material as possible per session, but to move at a pace that ensures everyone can understand and discuss what’s on the page, rather than relying on a flawed summary from a book or a podcast. Capital isn’t an easy book to read, but it's not beyond anyone willing to spend some time with it.

We meet every Monday at 7 pm at Broadside, 123 Allison St, Glasgow, G42 8NE.
