Do you have any plans for an article on Marx?
.
I'm reading an anthology on social theory and he makes up the first part. Appropriately, I guess, from the stand point that he is the first important writer to have developed a strong theory on how society works.

I read somewhere that he had sent a copy of his Das Kapital to Darwin and that it was discovered, still unopened, after Darwin died.

The Manifesto makes so much common sense that it is difficult to put it aside as the rantings of a maniacal fool.
.
Communism as a political movement will probably always fail as it probably should. But, the Communist Manifesto certainly is great food for thought. It is short enough that everyone ought to take the time to read it. It makes for great reading.

Would yous say that the U.S.S.R. was a truly communist state?
.
IS there a truly communist state in the entire world that you know about?

» pink101 - Milton Friedman

.
Milton Friedman, the famous economist who has been compared to Karl Marx in so far as their intellectual skills are concerned.
.
I wonder if there is a comparative analysis between the two that is available--one that is short and to the point?
.
I've heard about a new book on the market, Shock Doctrine, by Naomi Klein. I just ordered it from Barnes & Noble.
