yes he influenced Bhudists but he was influenced by Chasidim

I've just started reading To have or to be? As one of his final books, it seems to be a nice culmination of all his ideas and pertinently touching on his key concept of Buddhist related detachment from external desire.

I read about his books whilst training for social work in a book by Dr Raynor Funk, there it describes the basis of Frommes ideas was chasidism, from the writings of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi a book called Tanya. which can be described as the first Kabalah for the leyman written more than 200 years ago and is the Basis of the 'Chabad' movement. It seems that is where Fromme is coming from and is going too, peace on his soul.

One of my favourite books is The Art of Being. Notably there is a depiction of Lazarus on the front cover and you realize that the intended result of his book(s) is a spiritual resurrection. Very poignant actually when it ocurred to me.

Capitalism is based unconciously on man's mutual hostility

I haven't read any book more to the point than 'The Sane Society''. He examines the question 'Are we sane?' His conclusion is no.

Very good point, though not quite correct nor original, and here I mean that Chomsky says the same thing. You repeat the same mistake by saying that Germany was the most advanced capitalist country at that time. U.S. was by far the most advanced country, and closely followed by England (not GB). That is, if you look at the totality and not just the abstract of the capitalist system.
