APPEAL reading group: What is Capitalism? Session 2
Thursday August 27, 3pm Eastern Daylight Time via Zoom
Please join us for the second session of our new reading group on the meaning and nature of capitalism, with a focus on political economy and law. For this session, we will discuss two short essays by economist Joan Robinson: Latter-Day Capitalism, New Left Review July/August 1962, and The Final End of Laissez-Faire, New Left Review, July/August 1964.
Meeting approximately every month, we ask participants to read material circulated in advance and to be prepared to discuss a series of questions about the readings on topics such as the elements of capitalism; temporal dynamics of capitalism; varieties of capitalism; and capitalism, subjectivity, and inequality.
For details, click HERE to register for this APPEAL Reading Group (we’ll send the zoom link and electronic copies of the readings via email). For further more information, email Appeal@politicaleconomylaw.org with Capitalism Reading Group in the subject line.
