The Young Karl Marx

It’s 1844 when 26-year-old Karl Marx meets Friedrich Engels in Paris. Engels provides the missing piece of the puzzle that composes Marx’s new vision of the world. Between censorship, police repression and political upheavals, they preside over the birth of the labour movement. 

How relevant are the ideas
of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels today? How did these ideas change the lives
of workers? Evert van der Zweerde, a political philosopher at Radboud
University, shares his perspective.
