  3. 140 Jahre Kapital

In July 1885 the second volume of Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital. Kritik der politischen Oekonomie” was printed in Leipzig. In view of this 140th anniversary we took a walk along the WissensSpuren on Saturday the 5th of July, where we explored the impact and repercussions of Karl Marx’s works in Leipzig. We are very grateful that Jun.-Prof. Dr. Niklas Venema joined us on this tour.
