Marxism Today
August 1, 2001
Listen/download helpMore than 150 years ago, Karl Marx argued that capitalism would necessarily concentrate wealth into fewer and fewer hands. Today, the richest 300 individuals alone own more wealth than the poorest one-third of the planet's population. On this program, we take a look at some aspects of Marx's critique of capitalism and its relevance today.
