Our on-line learning is based on reading, questioning and mutual support from other participants and tutors. It seeks to draw on the varied life experience and knowledge of those taking part.
Get to grips with Marxist economics with the Marx Memorial Library this summer. This course – aimed at beginners - provides a basic introduction to the Marxist analysis of capitalist economics – comparing and contrasting its approach to that provided by neo-liberal and Keynesian interpre...tations. We will look at Marx's pamphlet, Wages, Price and Profit. Written in 1864 at the same time Marx was finishing his great work, Capital, Volume 1, it boils down the arguments of Capital to their simple essence.
Each course has four sessions or classes, each lasting two weeks. For each session you will be provided with short readings, explanatory notes, film clips, short videos and questions or discussion points to which you are asked to respond. These questions form the basis for debate and interaction. The tutor responds, where appropriate, to take discussion forward and to sum up at the end of each class.
Each participant can contribute as much or as little as they want and arrange their participation at times which suit within each two week period.
The four classes are:
1. An introduction to Karl Marx and Wages, Price and Profit
2. Class, political power and exploitation
3. Labour Value and capitalist crisis
4. Contradictions of capitalism

Get to grips with Marxist economics at the Marx Memorial Library this summer. This course – aimed at beginners - provides a basic introduction to the Marxist analysis of capitalist economics – comparing and contrasting its approach to that provided by neo-liberal and Keynesian interpretations.
We will look at Marx's pamphlet, Wages, Price and Profit. Written in 1864 at the same time Marx was finishing his great work, Capital, Volume 1, it boils down the arguments of Capital ...to their simple essence.
At the end of the course you should have a basic grounding in Marxist economics. You should be able to contest arguments that: · Wage increases cause inflation · Collective action by workers can never increase wages in the long-run And instead argue that · Labour is the only source of new value · Capitalist production is organised to maximise the rate of exploitation · Capitalist production is inherently crisis-prone · Collective action by workers enhances productivity and overall economic demand

Wonderful library and, also very important, a centre for discussion and debate on the living application of Marxist theory, hence the full name of Marx Memorial Library and WORKERS' SCHOOL. Much else in its exhibitions and periodic sales of second hand works.Worth joining and keeping up to date.

Estupendo . Si no vives allí no vuelvas sin verlo . Salud

Es un lugar donde el pasado, presente y futuro están unidos.

Los españoles debemos agradecer a esta institución que tiene guardado nuestro pasado más reciente, " La memoria de la guerra civil ".

Unas personas maravillosas cuidan y patrocinan el legado de los libros de Marx, Engels, Lenin, las revoluciones de izquierda. Infinidad de carteles, manuscritos, vamos una maravilla. Gracias infinitas.

A very special place to follow Marx's footprint in London !

A treasure trove of working class history.

"People are divided into slaves, citizens and human beings. Slaves do not fight for their own rights. They go through life subjected to a structure, ambition or vice. Citizens fight only for their own rights. And human beings fight for the rights of other beings, especially those who do not have the strength or the voice to fight for themselves, like the sick, poor people, prisoners, and animals."
