The recent worldwide financial crisis has initiated a global fundamental debate and raised questions about the capacity of contemporary economies to ensure the welfare of the world. In October 2008, Reinhard Marx launched Das Kapital: Ein Pladoyer fur den Menschen with intentional reference to the work by his namesake Karl Marx - Das Kapital: Kritik der politischen Okonomie - an extensive treatise on political economy, edited in part by Friedrich Engels, which critiques capitalism.
