Abstract

Karl Marx in American Thought
Stolberg, Benjamin | May 22, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses the book "Karl Marx. His Life and Work," by Otto Ruhle. There is hardly a freshwater college in the land which cannot boast a local Boehm-Bawerk, superior to Marx's "fallacies," which is a good deal like dismissing Isaac Newton with the Hertzian waves. In this philosophical sense socialist theory has had an incalculable influence on industrial democracy, on organized labor movement, and even on many of daily economic notions. Yet this is far from being a great biography. There is probably a good deal of truth in the author's contention that Marx's chronic indigestion tended to make him splenetic.
