She was looking for a good novel to read on the train and I mentioned one of Ken Folletts. Then I saw a copy of Atlas Shrugged and asked if she has read it. She asked "No, whats that one about ? ". I told her it was written by a woman about another woman industrialist but that wasn't enough inspiration for her to buy it.<br /><br />She studied the German sociologists, mostly Marx and a bit of Weber but not Durkheim (who is French). She said she read a lot of theory and it bored her. The Prussians bore me too.Doug Plumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398407489022244485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-31214626803839174402010-08-28T00:13:14.603-04:002010-08-28T00:13:14.603-04:00Every time I go into a bookstore there is always a...Every time I go into a bookstore there is always a copy of Marx sitting there - even if the total shelf space for philosophy or political philosophy has less than fifty books in total. <br /><br />Marx is destructive and the fact that it is taught tells me this whole mess is being created deliberately. Same as "whole language" and "new math"- the stuff doesn't work.Doug Plumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398407489022244485noreply@blogger.com
