The FES calls on all interested individuals to propose papers for the conference on questions such as: - How does Marx' thought help us understand the crisis of modern capitalism? - What will happen to the relation of labor and workers in the wake of the digital technological revolution? - How can we use Marx' thought to better understand the levels of inequality the current socio-economic order is generating? - What happened to the idea of the “working class” and does it have any political agency today? - Are there any alternatives that go beyond capitalism towards creating social utopias?
