From History of economic thought:
“It was this degradation and total dehumanization of the working class, thwarting man’s personal development and making an alien market commodity of man’s life-sustaining activities, that Marx most thoroughly condemned in the capitalist system”
“In pre-capitalist social systems like feudalism, an individual could at least partially achieve this self-realization through work”
Who wants to go back to feudalism guys?
Ooh! Ooh! Can I be a serf?
Uh, you mean History of Economic Thought by E. K. Hunt. You should be more specific in your reference, because on the Mises Institute forum, readers are very likely to think you are quoting Rothbard’s Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought, without a more detailed attribution.
I vote no. [:)]
yes that one, sorry for the confusion.
!!!
Yeah, because class mobility was so prevalent in feudalism and no working class man ever moved up the social ladder under capitalism!
And you really should specify the book, as people here will think you mean Rothbard’s History. Thats what I thought initially, anyway.
I looked it up on Amazon. It’s just another Marx eulogy, published under a travesty of a title.
