International Conference: Marx’s Capital after 150 Years

Marx’s Capital after 150 Years: Critique and Alternative to Capitalism

May 24-26, York University, Toronto, Canada
ADMISSION TO THIS CONFERENCE IS FREE

For many scholars, today Marx’s analyses are arguably resonating even more strongly than they did in Marx’s own time. This international conference brings together several world-renowned sociologists, political theorists, economists, and philosophers, from diverse fields and 13 countries. Its aim is to explore diverse scholarly perspectives and critical insights into the principal contradictions of contemporary capitalism and, in so doing, to draw attention to alternative economic and social models. The presenters will critically reconsider Marx’s Capital as a work that continues to provide an effective framework to understand the nature of capitalism and the transformations of our times.
