Returning to Basics: Critique and Crisis
Thursday, January 5, 2017, 6:00pm
Please join us for a round table discussion on the critique of political economy in light of contemporary economic, social, and political crises. We’ll be using Postone’s re-reading of Marx as a point of departure for this discussion and will examine recent crisis-ridden developments in light of that critique.

- Don Goldstein, Emeritus Professor of Economics, Allegheny College
- Robert Meister, Professor of Social and Political Thought, University of California, Santa Cruz

Chair:
