Slums and slag heaps, Freudian phrases and Marxian metaphors, the fall of prices and the Fall of Man-all found a place in Wystan Auden's writing. No poet more constantly and conscientiously tried to extend the domain of things poetical...

Over the past two years the senior members of the department have made it clear that Marxian economics would not be made a part (even a small part) of the core curriculum offered to graduate students and undergraduates. Tom Weisskopf and Herb Gintis, both popular teachers with substantial reputations for scholarly research in the Marxian tradition were let go. Demands that the department hire a Marxist economic theorist, passed virtually unanimously at meetings of the graduate economics club, were...

He uses both Freudian psychology and Marxian sociology, but they don't contradict each other; because he understands his parents strength and failures on both levels, he doesn't resort to violence to prove his commitment, and he's not convinced that the heritage of industrial uprisings must be followed in order to best attack capitalist societies...
