Live online now: Reading Capital's Materialist Dialectic with Nick Nesbitt and Nathan Brown.

Now online: 'Geert Reuten: A Fond Recollection' by Marcel van der Linden.

Just launched the 'Historical Materialism: Workers and Capital' journal. The starting point for this is a shared understanding that Marxism can provide important conceptual tools for understanding the relationship between workers and capital, as well as supporting the struggle against capital.

Historical Materialism is sad to announce the death of Geert Reuten. Geert was a brilliant Marxist, a kind person, and a great supporter of the HM project from the very beginning. Our condolences to friends and family.
