Join Spokane Public Library's Current Affa irs Specialist\, Shane Gronholz\, for a monthly 'salon' centered around di scussions on what you believe the rights and responsibilities of citizensh ip in the United States are.
\nSpokane Civics Salon meets from 2:00- 3:30 PM on the last Sunday of every month. Each Salon will be focused on a particular text.
\nThis month\, we will discuss some of the main po ints in G.A. Cohen's short but impactful work Why Not Socialism?< /p>\n
"Right before he died\, Marxist philosopher G. A. Cohen wrote a sh ort book called Why Not Socialism?" writes Ben Burgis in Jacobin magazine. "It&rsquo\;s a perfect introduction to the case for moving beyon d a capitalist economy."
\nParticipants are of course welcome to rea d the entire work\, but this excellent summary will be sufficient for prom pting discussion.
\nYou can also watch Ben Burgis debate Charlie Kir k on socialism and other topics here. \;
