Karl Marx is known for his political philosophy and critique of Capitalism but not for imaginative prose or parenting skills. He was, by all accounts, a loving and doting father and it wouldn't be a surprise if, at some point, he had tried to write a children's story. But could he steer clear of political analysis and stick to imaginative prose? New evidence shows that, yes, he did attempt to write a children's story, and, no, he could resist the temptation to use the story to explain his Theory of Surplus Value.
The only university that makes you chuckle AND learn at the same time.
