Observers mark Karl Marx's 208th birthday online

Karl Marx would have turned 208 today, and a new book, Flourishing Together: Karl Marx’s Vision of the Good Society, was published the same day. Flourishing Together offers a novel interpretation that places self-realization in work at the center of Marx’s vision of a good society. That reframing connects Marx’s critique of exploitation and class power to current debates over labor rights, workplace democracy, and how work contributes to human flourishing.
