A clip from a great course from The Teaching Company, Legacies of Great Economist, Lecture 5 Karl Marx and Socialism by Timothy Taylor

I wonder how is own kids felt: we could have asked Edgar, Henry, Jenny Eveline, or the one child who didn't even make it to his first birthday while this sponge-leech of a bloodsucking ultimate trustfund-baby squandered away his time and energy on unnatural social theories at the expense of neglecting his wife and children.

That's some guy to hold up as model of great thinking and wisdom. He and his friend Engels -- another self-loather whose own income was derived from capitalist parents.

I tell you, George, you should have stuck with quotes from Keynes and left this kook Marx alone; it dose not paint a pretty picture of what drives your inner philospher.
