Was Karl Marx Right?

Exactly 130 years after his death, it is possible to revisit the work of Karl Marx and discover that for all the terrors wrought by his followers, the man himself might have been absolutely right? In his economic philosophy, Marx predicted stagnation, exploitation, and Capitalism in perpetual crisis, all of which are happening just as he envisioned. Is it time to take Marx seriously again, or is his legacy forever tainted by the massive failures of Communism?

Moderated by author and communications scholar Liel Leiibovitz, Hard Talks feature speakers with strongly opposing points of view addressing some of the most probing and provocative questions in intellectual history.
