DESCRIPTION:The Insititute for the Critical Studies of Society hosts:\n"Marx and the 
 United States"\nKarl Marx's unique concept of theory has very deep organic 
 roots in developments in the United States. With a new form of globalized 
 capitalism in the 1850s, the unfolding storm over slavery in the U.S., 
 especially the slave revolts and the Abolitionist Movement, became the 
 focus of Marx's attention. One impetus for the founding of the 
 International Workingmen's Association, in which Marx was a leading voice, 
 was the huge outcry by English textile workers, who, at the cost of their 
 own livelihood, opposed their government's support of the South and its 
 cotton-producing, slave economy during the U.S. Civil War. Under the impact 
 of the Civil War and the ensuing labor movement in the U.S., Marx 
 restructured his greatest theoretical work, "Capital." What can we learn 
 from the form of Marx's theoretical engagement in his time in today's 
 search for an alternative to global capital?\nCo-presenters Urszula 
 Wislanka and Ron Kelch\n\n\n
