Summary
Rolf Hosfeld: Karl Marx - Biography
The specter is circling Europe: twenty years after the collapse of communism and in the midst of the crisis of capitalism, the ideas of Karl Marx are partly en vogue again. Many are happy to refer to the old great man from Trier, without actually knowing Marx and his work at all. Rolf Hosfeld takes a new, open and critical look at the troubled life of Karl Marx. From the biography of the controversial politician and revolutionary, he draws conclusions about his work - about his delusions and misjudgments, as well as about his pioneering ideas. Hosfeld shows Marx's life between Trier and London and at the same time opens the door to his thought, which is considered among the most influential in intellectual history.
