  • Perry Anderson is a great marxist historian.

    I like a lot of his work about the feudalism.

    His books are great.

  • i respect him as an intellectual but i do not agree with marxism at all

  • @mmay2010 what is it that you disagree with in marxism? You might don't agree with the solution (most likely cuz you'd loose privilege) but you can't disagree with the marxist critique of capitalism...Marx has been prove right again and again.

  • @theH0UNDSofD00M on paper Marxism is a great idea...but in reality human beings are too self centered and marxism does not work. Marx's theory of economy was tried in Russia, it took about 70 yrs but it failed. Cihna is becoming more capitalist every day. why? cuz marxism will never work

  • @theH0UNDSofD00M yes i agree with the critique of capitalism i fully admit that it isnt a perfect system either but atleast i have a chance of making it big if i work hard enough. thats what i like about capitalism you can go as far as you are willing to take yourself

  • What Marx said about capitalism bears little resemblance to what his followers claimed he said about it. Marx praised capitalism for destroying medieval feudalism and saw it as one more step on the road to socialism and then communism. Even so, his economic contributions remain wrong. The LTV is about as serious as the phlogiston theory of fire.

  • @Bastiat90 - really? Explain to us why the LTV is so wrong then. It's easy to dismiss something without elaborating in a logical way.

  • Because prices are set according to supply and demand in a truly free market.

  • I didn't realize Perry had such an 'outsider' experience - it explains a lot but not how he occupies the exalted space above all other living historians in the way he does :-). May he thrive.
