Jean Jaurès 100 jaar geleden vermoord
Honderd jaar geleden, op 31 juli 1914, werd de Franse socialist en pacifist Jean Jaurès vermoord. Hij streefde naar een grote solidaire beweging tegen de oorlog en voor de vrede. En is hiermee nog steeds prangend actueel. We maakten een montage over zijn leven.

It now becomes clear that Marx’s Capital was an unfinished project for good reasons. Marx was constantly exploring new subjects, revising his earlier results, and reformulating Capital’s first volume in several editions after it had been published in 1867.
