Paul Mason (Great Britain) and Sebastian Puschner (FREITAG) discuss «Why does Marx matter today?» and the relevance of Marx in contemporary media production. Paul Mason, British journalist and filmmaker, has created five short films for Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung for the 200 years of Marx jubilee. Alienation, communism, revolution, exploitation and the future of machines are the topics of Marx theories Mason is exploring for showing how Marx, who Masons describes as the most influential thinker of the modern world, is still highly relevant. Moderation: Johanna Bussemer (Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung).
