Zinn’s play Marx in Soho is a witty and insightful answer to the question, "If Karl Marx could see the world today, what would he say?" Teacher, actor, and activist, Brian Jones has been performing this play all over the country since 1999. An audiobook of his performance, introduced by Howard Zinn, will be released soon by Haymarket Books.
