Episode description
In the 1950s and 60s, while the so-called Marxists couldn't understand the post war boom, Ted Grant used the Marxist method to analyse what was happening. From this, he was able to understand that capitalism had not solved its contradictions but was destined for slump again.
At this year's RCP summer camp, Nelson Wan explains Ted Grant's article 'Will there be a slump?' and the method which allowed him to have this foresight.
