Captions available
The idea
Elated then horrified by eighteen forty-eight, exiled to Britain, Marx turned from propaganda to analysis: Capital, eighteen sixty-seven, a study of English capitalism. The anchor's reading: he described capitalism before unions and state intervention tamed it, and left no tactical guide.
In practice
A third of the world nominally Marxist by the mid-twentieth century.
Where people slip
The reading is the anchor's, attributed.
