Philosophers' Café: Back from the Dustbin? The Marxist Critique in the 21st Century

Wednesday, December 13

The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting. Our next meeting is Oct. 11th, 7pm, at Brewery N├©nic. The topic is "Back from the Dustbin? The Marxist Critique in the 21st Century" and will be moderated by Dr. Christopher Marshall (History, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:

"With the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Marxist critique seemed consigned to history's dustbin. Indeed, in 1992 Francis Fukuyama famously proclaimed liberal capitalism's apparent victory as signifying "the end of history," with humankind's political and economic evolution reaching its zenith. The 1990s saw "Third Way" ideology, embodied in leaders like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, attempt to address inequality via mechanisms of the market. However, despite these bold claims, the last thirty years have witnessed deepening inequality, expanded corporate power, economic crises (particularly in 2008), and democratic retreat. Given these realities, is it time to revisit the Marxist critique? Can it provide useful perspectives and strategies for dealing with the challenges of our historical moment?"

Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!
