Marx as a Migrant – A digital narrative

Karl Marx lived a long life as a migrant. Fleeing from the Prussian state, censorship and possible arrest, important stops on his journey were Paris, Brussels and London. These cities shaped his political activities, his engagement with political fellow-travellers, as well as his intellectual development and thus his entire work.

At the click of a mouse, you can follow Marx as a migrant from city to city. You can not only immerse yourself in his time, but also discover that even today, traces of his life and work continue to be seen in Paris, Brussels and London.

Each station takes about 45 minutes.

Marx as a Migrant

  • Paris
  • Friendship with Friedrich Engels

Marx reads and takes excerpts from Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Jean-Baptiste Say, Sismondi, Mill, and other traditional and contemporary economists. He tries to convey, using their words and logic, the weak points of their theories. His notes will be published 90 years later as the “Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts”.
