The first is to be held on 9 May at Aberdeen Trade Union Council, 22a Adelphi, Aberdeen. It will be presented by Keith Paterson, Phd student at Aberdeen University and long-time trade unionist and political activist.
Please get along if you can and circulate details widely to union branches, contacts and activists.
Drawing on the concepts of Marx, Keynes
and contemporary radical economists, these talks aim to provide a critical
introduction to a political economy approach to understanding the central
dynamics of the economy and provide a framework for understanding how
capitalism works and how crises come about.
For trade union and community activists the aim is to provide a tool kit to question what is presented in the media and by so called ‘experts’ about economic issues and provide an alternative way of examining the economy.

A major objective is to demystify orthodox economics which has been
found wanting yet continues to provide the ideological justification for
austerity, cuts and privatisation.
