Begin The World Over Again

Episode 3: How can Engels show us the way forward beyond 2020, as we ensure that "an ounce of action is worth a ton of theory"?


Listen Later

Created by composer Alan Williams working with Christina McAlpine.

"An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory." So says Friedrich Engels, philosopher, linguist, artist, poet and revolutionary socialist. What does that mean for today? Perhaps it’s just about time that we started taking some steps forward...

Your trusted guides in today’s episode will be musician Alan Williams and Christina McApline who take us to visit some of the places that Engels visited during his time in Manchester and Salford. It's a journey of words and music, with poetry and prose from Mancunians past and present and original music by Alan Williams.

So then, prepare to limber up as we explore the question “How can Engels show us the way forward beyond 2020?”

Introduced by Reece Williams.
Additional production by Siân Roberts.
