Karl Marx still matters: Sean Illing interviews Gareth Stedman Jones, author of Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion. What we can learn about freedom from Karl Marx: C.J. Polychroniou interviews William Clare Roberts, author of Marx’s Inferno: The Political Theory of Capital. John Bellamy Foster on the return of Engels.
