anti-capitalism \ Meeting \ Neil Faulkner
Capitalism 101
War. Austerity. Climate change. Ever feel like the world is in crisis? What has capitalism done to our economy, our planet, our communities?
Brick Lane Debates is putting on a fortnightly series of radical, participatory workshops to explore the nature of the capitalist system and show how another world is possible. Don’t worry if you’ve never studied politics or are new to these ideas – the point of the course is to learn from each other and collaborate on establishing some basic building blocks with which to understand the world.
The seminars will be taught by Neil Faulkner, historian, campaigner & author of ‘A Marxist History of the World’.
Entrance is free.
