Marx for the 21st Century

The world is engulfed in ever deepening economic crises, since 2008. The latest Eurozone crisis and its impact on global economy has led many to predict an even more tumultuous period in 2013.

Dr. Kenneth Surin of Duke University, a marxist theorist spoke about the fate of global capitalism and its consequences for ordinary folk, everywhere.

This lecture was recorded at Loyar Burok during one of his visit to Malaysia.

Another lit professor expounding on economics. What dated junk. Now it's called Marxian, not Marxist to indicate some daylight between the two. What's next, Nazian?
