CHR Capitalism Reading Group

Friday, November 7, 2025 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EST
Zoom

This reading group is a small cohort of progressive scholars committed to advancing our understanding of capitalism. Capitalism plays an undeniably central role in shaping our modern world, so we seek to continuously explore its mechanisms, implications, and alternatives. Understanding capitalism through interdisciplinary inquiry and from a multiplicity of perspectives is crucial in equipping ourselves to critically analyze the dynamics of power, inequality, and innovation that pervade society. We read time-honored classics and new works on political economy, history and theory, labor and commodity relations, as well as colonial, cultural, environmental, and racial capitalism.

Nov 7- Frederic Jameson, "Postmodernism, or The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism"
