Marx: The Lecture

 
01
Marx in the kitchen

Newton: the lecture

He did a lot more than just sitting around waiting to be hit on the head with an apple, although you wouldn't know it from his time as an MP. Join Mark to reconsider Newton.

The Marx before the ism

Separate the man from the application of his ideas and take a fresh look at Marx.

As he moved from Paris to London, Marx managed to leave a trail of uncleaned rooms and even more untidy relationships in his wake.

Mark picks his way through the discarded Pot Noodle cartons and unexpected children to reveal the real Marx.

You'll discover why the state of Marx's flat caused consternation amongst those sent to spy on him, and get to watch him doing his grocery shopping.

Mark also explains what made Marx's theories so revolutionary and why Marx wasn't a Marxist.

And did we mention the affairs?
