marx and freedom

dear gert,

you can look at Istvan Meszaros' _Marx's Theory of Alienation_ (great
book), Merlin Press, 1970...

i also advise two competing views on freedom:

Graeme Duncan _Marx and Mill: Two views of social conflict and social
harmony_, cambridge, 1973...

OF COURSE, HIS "economic and philosophical manuscripts"!!! and "on the
jewish question"....(the latter is a must in my view. it is a profound
explanation of "human emancipation")..

au revoir,

Mine
