Das Kapital: The Musical!

Yes folks, a Chinese stage producer has decided to use the recent resurgence of interest in things economic to stage a musical on the writings of the world's most famous lefty economist.

I wonder what's next, a TV mini-series on the life and times of Henry George, an ironic art exhibition about John Maynard Keynes and the Bloomsbury set, or how about Jethro Tull coming out of retirement and doing a tongue-in-cheque concept album on the co-operative movement.

And speaking of Jethro Tull.
