In 1843, the young journalist Karl Marx arrived in Paris. Already he was becoming notorious throughout Europe as a polemicist and troublemaker, but his economic and political ideas were still in their infancy. In Paris, Marx met radicalised artisans, and befriended Heinrich Heine and Friedrich Engels. Jonathan Ree goes to Paris, retracing Marx's steps.
