This week, we are celebrating the 200th birthday of Karl Marx, one of the most influential political philosophers and the founder of scientific socialist thought. Beyond inspiring the socialist revolutions that have transformed societies across the globe, Marx made major breakthroughs in economic thought, theorizing the origin of commodity production and the labor theory of value. To study the living legacy of Marx today, we are now joined from Beijing by Ian Goodrum, an editor with China Daily and a member of the Communist Party USA.We are also joined by Dr. Derek Ford, an educational theorist at Depauw University, to discuss the historic summit that just took place in Korea.
