HOT OFF THE PRESSES
For gluttons for punishment, my entire three volume Memoir is now available on Box.net, edited and in one big file [the file is so big, it takes up almost as much memory as one photograph!] Enjoy.
Just finished reading "Money Bags Must Be So Lucky" after 23 years and it strikes me as the best introduction to Marx, and in some important ways to Plato, that exists. It should be required reading for OWS supporters. I half-seriously want my 16 year old to memorize it, if for no other reason than for the gently funny yet razor sharp prose and for the clarity of the argument. I will enjoy the autobiography for the writing as well!

ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
be well!
Thank you so much. To steal a line from Hume, it "fell stillborn from the presses." I am so glad you found something of value in it.
