Marx:
In the introduction to his 13 volume, open source lecture series on Marx’s Das Kapital, the ever-brillz David Harvey recalls his first impressions of the United States upon arriving “F.O.B.” from England to Johns Hopkins in 1968, citing the Baltimore riots, Vietnam, and all other matters of insanity that plagued the country at that time as his gateway to Marx. Before digging in, he swiftly checks the grad students’ egos:
“One of the great things about Marx is that he would’ve never got tenure in any discipline. And if you want to read him right, then you’ve got to forget about getting tenure in your discipline.”
Nerd Alert: One may also subscribe to the entire lecture series via iTunes on Harvey’s blog. He has a blog!
“All that is solid melts into air.” Marx, reduced to a Lego toy. Next?
