The Journal of Agrarian Change seeks contributions to a symposium on Capitalism, Crisis and Covid: Agrarian Political Economy in Disrupted Circuits of Capital and Labour.
Covid-19 is re-configuring the global capitalist system. It has disrupted the functioning of capitalism in unprecedented ways. The flow of commodities has slowed dramatically, and labour has experienced a mass loss of work.
The Library of the Labour Movement in Finland, member of the IALHI, has reopened for public after the first COVID-19 pandemia closing. It also provides free access to a number of online materials at: https://helda.helsinki.fi/handle/10138/139700.
Most of the materials are in Finnish but there are also something in English or other languages for example in the Internationals and the Working life section of the Helda Digital Archive.
