Books, Arts & Manners: Father of Alienism

Marxism: Philosophy and Economics, by Thomas Sowell (Quartet Books, 281 pp., $15.95)

How important is Marxian theory? It’s doubtful that Mikhail Gorbachev is much concerned with the idea that the value of a thing is a function of the labor that goes into making it. He is less concerned with the means of production than with those of destruction. Yet he is ex officio the world’s leading Marxist.
