Karl Marx. Marxism. The Communist Manifesto. Scary stuff. Dangerous stuff. Is it really or is this just fear talking, remnants of the cold war? What is it Marx was saying? Are his theories obsolete? Or, might he still have things to teach us? These are the questions we ask on this next episode.
Vanessa Wills is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at The George Washington University. She works on political philosophy and ethics, and is an activist based in Washington, DC. She is the author of Marx’s Ethical Vision, from Oxford University Press.
