Capitalism Can’t Save Us: how Marx’s economics explain today's crisis

Here and globally, the crisis is deepening. How can Marx's ideas help us understand what is happening and can be done about it? Michael Roberts kicks off the monthly 'Marx Matters' event series - was Nye Bevan right, wrong, or both when he said “Marxism put into the hands of the working class movement... the most complete blueprints for political action the world has ever seen?” Michael worked in the City of London as an economist for over 40 years. He has closely observed the machinations of global capitalism from within the dragon’s den. At the same time, he was a political activist in the labour movement for decades. Since retiring, he has written several books including The Great Recession – a Marxist view (2009); The Long Depression (2016); Marx 200: a review of Marx’s economics (2018). Marx Matters is a series of in-person and online talks from prominent writers on Marxism exploring the relevance of Marx's work today.
