offers a unique online course in Marxian Economics (Econ 305). Professor Stephen Resnick developed online Marxian Economics based on his well-known and popular undergraduate course, which he has taught many years at UMass Amherst. The online version of Marxian
Economics offers students an exciting opportunity to engage with other students from around the world in learning about and discussing the original and thought-provoking perspectives on Marxian social theory developed by Stephen Resnick and his colleague Richard
Wolff. </span></div>

instructor for the course will be a Ph.D. student in economics at UMass Amherst. The course combines reading, discussion, lecture, and writing for an interactive and enriching learning experience. Students will read Marx’s own writings and historical and contemporary
interpretations. A series of video lectures by Professor Resnick illustrates concepts with examples, visual aids, and anecdotes refined over years of successful teaching. Instructor-guided participatory discussions promote interaction among students and critical
thinking on the central themes of the course. Graded essays, exams, and participatory discussions help students organize and consolidate their knowledge.

intensive analysis addresses the central themes of Marxian social theory and economics: an understanding of the class process as the organization of surplus value; an analysis of the relationship between class and non-class processes using the concept of overdetermination;
the epistemological foundations of Marxian theory (including a discussion of empiricism, rationalism, and dialectics); and other topics. The course ends with application of Marxian concepts to understand the stress and strain of US capitalism over the last
four decades.</span></div>
