  Booklovers turn to Karl Marx as financial crisis bites in Germany

Karl Marx is back. That, at least, is the verdict of publishers and 
bookshops in Germany who say that his works are flying off the shelves.

The rise in his popularity has of course, been put down to the current 
economic crisis. "Marx is in fashion again," said JÃrn SchÃtrumpf, 
manager of the Berlin publishing house Karl- Dietz which publishes the 
works of Marx and Engels in German. "We're seeing a very distinct 
increase in demand for his books, a demand which we expect to rise even 
more steeply before the year's end."
