Marx@200: Marx, Nature and the Anthropocene

19th May 2018 London

Camilla Royle

Karl Marx was born in Trier, in today's Germany, in 1818. He developed a groundbreaking analysis of capitalism and argued for a workers' revolution to overthrow it. His ideas, contained in works ranging from The Communist Manifesto to Capital, would change the world.

But Marx was not just a thinker for the 19th or 20th centuries. This one-day conference discussed how Marx's theories can be developed in order to make sense of the world today and transform it.

Sessions included:

The Crises of Contemporary Capitalism

Marx, Nature and the Anthropocene

The Workers of the World Today
