Abstract
As long as economic highs and lows continue in what many view as a destructive global pattern, and as long as the gap between rich and poor produces tensions across the world, a perceived basis for anticapitalist thought will most likely persist. Is there even a case to be made, despite the ending of the Cold War, that socialist ideas remain relevant? Can they be taken seriously in an age of global trade and finance? This program reflects on one of the most revolutionary and controversial thinkers of all time - Karl Marx, who argued that capitalism is inherently unfair, doomed to collapse, and should be abolished. Traveling from Marx’s birthplace to a former detention center in Berlin, viewers learn how his work left an indelible stamp on the lives of billions, how his economic analysis can be plausibly separated from the often brutal policies carried out in his name, and how a rational discussion of Marx might help the global community resolve some of its economic challenges
