...suppose a Marxist analysis would classify the Europeans as a sort of feudal aristocracy, the Indians as the bourgeoisie, and the Africans as the not-so-urban working class oppressed by the other two groups. The trouble is that such a "Marxian" analysis neatly coincides with the racial division. And this is the only real threat to a temporarily stable situation--that the Congress, or some other faction, might rouse the latent hostility a large proportion of the African population bears toward the other races, and turn out a government which has created a remarkable spirit of cooperation among...
...Impatience. Gaitskell, a onetime economics don, also won on domestic issues. With adoption of his moderate, modern social and economic program, he routed the party's Marxian "fundamentalists," offered Britain's prosperous working class a package that was hardly more radical than the Tory platform. Over opposition from Laborites who fear that nationalization of British industry may be impeded by capitalist competition, Gaitskell clinched his victory by blocking a mischievous resolution opposing British membership in the European Common Market, and substituting a heavily conditioned but practical endorsement...
Right Face. Other Marxian imports are the nationalized foreign trade agencies. They also have proved a flop, the evidence being bare shop shelves and the sagging value of the Guinean franc. Toure has been forced to trim the power of the state import monopoly, allowing private traders to handle some foreign goods.

Freudian man, Marxian man, organization man, lifeman, gamesman and grey-flannel-suit man-what were they compared to the S-Man? Piglets to a python. In the diabolically clever guise of a self-help manual, The S-Man aims a good Swiftian kick at the cult and cultists of success. A British export, the book lacks the clubby good humor of Parkinson and Potter, substitutes instead the wittily barbed aphorisms of the success man's ascent ("New friends are best friends"). Cocktail party Platos will find a host of new S-Man concepts, including the Inhibition Barrier...
...educators dispute the quality of Soviet training in such fields. American education is superior, they argue, because it is free of the rote learning, Marxian indoctrination and pressure for applied research that characterizes Soviet schooling. Yet the U.S. is short of engineers, physicians and teachers-and Russia is not. Concludes DeWitt, noting that Russia now spends as much on education as the U.S., though it is less than half as wealthy: "We will have to do much more for the betterment of our own education before it is too late...
