James Tindall@mike805 @pluralistic I really like the detail of this story that it was Marx’s wife, Jenny von Westphalen, who pawned Marx’s trousers —apparently to buy food. Was there also perhaps an element of punishment to this choice? Were there really no other things to choose to pawn? Or was she actually helping him focus on finishing Kapital by removing the option of leaving the house?
