for my economic development class we are reading about karl marx and the radical paradigm.

in this economist article i am reading this fun little fact came up:

In 1999 the BBC conducted a series of polls, asking people to name the greatest men and women of the millennium. In October of that year, within a few weeks of the tenth anniversary of the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, the BBC declared the people's choice for “greatest thinker”. It was Karl Marx. Einstein was runner-up, Newton and Darwin third and fourth, respectively.


i never would have guessed that.

Communism has about as much to do with the berlin wall as I do with picking fall out boy's next single. I do agree with you that it's interesting that Marx was picked the greatest thinker in that year since most people assume communism=USSR.

Karl Marx was an incredible thinker and contributed a great deal to our society.Each volume of Capital, the critique of capitalism, was intense and revealing of the system we currently live in.

well the article was in general about how russias communism was a derivation from marx's idea...but also that marx was wrong on many of his initial beliefs...or right on others but for the wrong reasons.

if it was shorter and not on blackboard i would post it here for everyone to read.
