Break over the summer:

Due to a variety of commitments, the Reading Group will now be having a break over the summer. Thanks to everyone who participated and spoke over the year in the discussion groups, and to the hundreds who attended our meetings on the 'Enigma of Capital' with David Harvey, and the 'Future of Capitalism' debate between Alex Callinicos and Martin Wolf. The group was even given props recently in the Guardian.

The break does of course mean that we will be finishing the final chapters of Volume I without meeting up, however if you have any questions or points to raise and/or would like to be included in a circular email discussion, please reply to kclreadingcapital@gmail.com.

Furthermore the Reading Group intends to return in the autumn reading Volume II of Capital, and with some special events and guest-speakers in the pipeline. Please get in touch if you are particularly interested in the former, or if you know others who might be interested in joining us.
