Im reading a biography on Marx and i've just come accross one of the bigest "Wow i didnt know that" fact i have ever known.

The guy that founded Philips co. was Marx's paternal uncle!!

Apparently Marx's wife went to Holland from London to beg this guy for money as were living in London with 4 kids and no money.

The uncle said no and sent them home!

its obvious from these beginings this philips guy was going places, a born capitalist.
