Yeah, yeah, yeah, capitalism sucks... but why does it suck? And how does it work?

Karl Marx tried answering this over 150 years with his masterpiece Capital, providing working people the tools for explaining capitalism and how to dismantle it. Following DSA National Political Education Committee's Capital Reading Group, join QCDSA's bookclub Radical Readings as we read Marx's Capital Illustrated by David Smith and Phil Evans! This illustrated summary of Capital provides an easy and fun introduction to Marxism, and essential for any socialist or fellow traveller.

You can buy the book for $15 at Haymarket Books, but RSVP for other options on how to get the book.

We will review a segment of the book every other week. For this kickoff event, we're going over chapters 9-11. Please read these chapters before the meeting: the book is short and each segment is short as well, so this should be a brisk read.
