The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848. While some of the concepts Marx presented are still great, Marx's ideology is as outdated as Adam Smith's. No modern day economists are quoting The Wealth of Nations so I don't understand why people who want to fix modern economies are quoting a man who had no idea what a car was, nor overnight delivery via cargo planes, nor tech giants who control our access to information. Marx lived in a different world.
