Subject: Ernest Mandel has passed away
Ernest Mandel, a leader of the Fourth International and internationally
known Marxist economist died yesterday in Belgium of a heart
attack. He was 72 years old. Mandel had been in failing health
for several years.
Cremation is today at a small family service. In September,
broader commemorative events are planned when his ashes
will be moved to either Paris or Antwerp.
Active throughout his illness, Mandel was working along with
Swiss comrade Charles Andre Udry on a book analyzing the
role of finance capital in today
s global economy. He was able to attend the 14th World
Congress of the FI which was held this June and intervened
in his usual spirited and incisive fashion.
Messages of condolence to his comrades, and his companion
Ann can be faxed to the Belgian section of the FI.
The number is 011 32 2 522 6127.
He will be sorely missed, particularly by an entire
generation of revolutionaries who came to Marxism
and to the Fourth International in the heydey of
the 1960s. He was our teacher.
