Does Marx’s concept of freedom speak to today’s global economic crises?

How does Marx’s concept of freedom speak to today’s global economic crises? A Decade of Historic Transformations: From the Grundrisse to Capital

Is economics a dismal science? How is Marx’s idea of freedom integral to his diving into economics?
This diving began in his 1857 Grundrisse, the preparatory notebooks for his 1867 publication of Capital. Does Marx’s discussion of pre-capitalist economies in his day as discussed in Grundrisse speak, for example, to today’s developments in Kobane and Rojava?

How does Marx’s recreation of Hegel’s concept of freedom speak to overcoming capitalism?
