Trade unionists, workers, students and people of all kinds know that they are living through a deep crisis in our society and they are looking for answers. Marxism provides a way of understanding the world that empowers working people to fight for change. The classes are part of a series on Marxist political economy, but they are open to all whether you are refreshing your understanding or coming to it for the first time.
