WEA course tutor, Dr. Trevor Bark, 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, and anybody who wants to know more about the world around them. We'll 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 Trevor Bark started his career in London, working with the homeless and Camden Trade Union Support unit, and with prisoners as a
researcher and lecturer at Middlesex University. He has also made films with Channel 4 and the BBC as a social movement researcher.
He received his PhD for a thesis covering the history of the informal economy from Feudalism to today, and including alcohol and tobacco smuggling.
