________________
 Karl Marx  | See especially the works of Rosa Luxemberg, Professor of Economics & author of the first sustained critique of Marx's Capital in her Accumulation of Capital, and leader of the Spartacus rebellion; and I. I. Rubin, Professor of Economic History, whose view that Marx presented a theory and critique of culture ---and not a science of society--- earned him a death in the Gulag. A reading of these will provide a foundation as well to understanding the marxism in the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School. Many
of the translations of Marx date from the Soviet era, and although
sometimes the differences can be subtle, the effect of the politics of
the era on the translations could itself be the subject of a
course.
We will use the Penguin Classics translation, which is considered more up to date. Genealogical Sources for the Study of Karl Marx (unfinished fragment, but you will get the idea) Bibliography for the Course: Marx from Stanley Aronowitz's course: "Marx," CUNY Graduate Center, 1996. | |

which sets out to prove that the Frankfurt School is the source of all
that has caused the decline of America, or so they say. There are
times when criticisms should be worn as badges of honor. | |
