Rehabilitating Marx

Rethinking Marx?

"Georg Sans, a German-born professor of the history of contemporary philosophy at the pontifical Gregorian University, wrote in an article that Marx’s work remained especially relevant today as mankind was seeking "a new harmony" between its needs and the natural environment. He also said that Marx’s theories may help to explain the enduring issue of income inequality within capitalist societies."
Now here's a view that will gain few supporters in the West, where, among Catholics, Capitalism is right up there with belief in the Trinity.

Some very good thoughts in the article, though...
