...become enamored of theory and either fall to recognize facts or reject them when forced upon him, Inexperienced minds too easily confuse theory with actuality, and, in particular, are inclined to revolt when reality fails to jibe with theory.

The only valid objection of those who hysterically denounce "radicalism" in the colleges is against those teachers--and they are rare indeed--who openly condemn, deride or misrepresent our present institutions...

S. social structure from the Marxian slant yet to appear. Other economists will dispute Author Corey's charts, tables, sources, as well as conclusions, but they cannot say he has failed to back up his generalizations with evidence. He writes with temperate civility, trying to make his case intellectually rather than emotionally, and only...
...American Dream," Author Corey writes glowingly of the early American Democracy before it was overtaken by modern capitalism. Originating in revolution, it was dedicated to the ideals of Liberty, Democracy, Education, Equality, Progress, Peace. Pointing out the discrepancies between ideals and practice. Lewis Corey is, for a Marxian, generous in his estimation of its real accomplishments. To him, the impending "American Revolution" is consistent with U. S. traditions. It will mark the triumph of the socialism of Marx and Lenin...
