About

As an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin, AJ Julius studied class structure and class politics with Erik Wright. In 2006 he completed a PhD in economics at the New School. He’s taught philosophy at UCLA since 2007. He’s written about several topics: the dynamics of competition, exploitation, accumulation, and technical progress; the natures of property, coercion, exchange, commodity production, and wage labor; rationality and freedom in a person’s action over time and in her interactions with other persons; self knowledge, self liberation, and mutual recognition in friendship, work, and struggle.
