The question then becomes: can the dominance of capital be subdued? Michael Brie was a leading figure in the group of East German scholars who elaborated a theory of modern socialism in the 1980s. He has published on Russia and on the socialist experience in the GDR. Admission to this lecture is $6. ***** All Brecht Forum lectures are available on audiotape. The cost is $7 per tape.
