The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung—New York Office presents:
 ROSA REMIX New Takes on a Longtime Classic
One hundred years after the publication of her masterpiece “The Accumulation of Capital,” Rosa Luxemburg’s ideas have come back in a big way. If she were here today, what would Rosa say about contemporary feminist movements, Occupy Wall Street, or our deepening ecological crisis? Join us at Verso Books on Friday night, August 21, and at The New School on Saturday to learn and discuss.
