Did Marx have the right idea?
As banks wobble across the world, a new course on Tyneside will investigate if Karl Marx was right after all about the instability of capitalism.
The adult education course – the first of its kind in Britain – will seek to get to grips with the roots of the growing economic crisis.
“The History and politics of the Credit Crunch” is the title of the 13 week course starting on march 11 at the Workers Educational Association in Portland Terrace.
WEA course tutor Dr Trevor Bark said delegates would study capitalism from the view of Karl Marx.
He said: “This course should appeal to anyone concerned about the credit crunch and who would like to increase their knowledge of social and economic conditions.
“We will explore with open minds what is happening and in lively and interesting ways, looking at what Karl Marx had to say about capitalist economies”.
Dr Bark, who has made films with Channel 4 and the BBC, studied the history of the informal economy from feudalism to today for his PHD.
His studies including the issues surrounding alcohol and tobacco smuggling.
