To the 200th anniversary of K. Marx

The article discusses the results of the round table on the topic “Karl Marx: 200 years later” devoted to the prominent German philosopher, economist and publicist Karl Marx. The anniversary of the German scientist caused a huge resonance and interest in the whole world. In Trier (Germany), the city where Karl Marx was born, an extensive jubilee program was held, dedicated to the 200th anniversary of his birth. The federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, in which Trier is located, the city administration organized a large-scale exhibition in the homeland of Marx about the life and work of this outstanding thinker, influenced by the ideas of which epoch-making events took place in the politics of the XIX and XX centuries. Marx’s works have become an integral and important part of world culture, so that without studying his economic, philosophical and political heritage it is impossible to become a real economist or political scientist. This is well understood in the USA: according to the information of the Open Syllabus Explorer portal, the “Manifesto” by Marx and Engels takes the 4th place in the list of books that are included by the teachers of US universities in the curriculum. And in six states, including New Jersey, New Hampshire, Washington and Michigan, it comes first. According to the Library of Congress, more scientific works are devoted to Marx than to any other person. The round table was attended by Kazakhstani scientists (political economists, philosophers, sociologists, historians), business representatives.
