Introduction to Marxist Economics: How Capitalism Really Works
4:15pm Sat 04 Aprmelbourne
Why do recessions happen? Why does inequality soar? Why is work so exhausting while wealth piles up for a tiny elite?
Marxist economics provides answers that mainstream economics cannot. This session introduces key concepts like value, exploitation, surplus labour, and the tendency toward crisis. We’ll connect these ideas to the real functioning of modern capitalism.
This accessible introduction shows how Marxist economics equips us to understand the world—and why changing the system requires understanding how it actually operates.
