"Marx and the United States"
Karl 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?
Co-presenters Urszula Wislanka and Ron Kelch
