I have no doubt that young philosophers will be reading your work on Marx for many, many years.

Young people still imagine that the race is to the swift, the battle to the strong, bread to the wise, riches to men of understanding and favor to men of skill: that the world is somehow fair.<br /><br />However, if there were a moment when someone who has studied Marx all his life (as you have) might find a bit of recognition, it's now: post 2008. It's evident that the 2008 crisis has shaken capitalist hegemony: that's why another old guy, Bernie Sanders, is doing so well, why still another old guy, Jeremy Corbyn, now leads the Labor Party and why yet another old guy, David Harvey, now sells a lot of books about Marxism.<br /><br />So I imagine that you'll do better than you imagine with your talk.s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.com
