...Clifford Hugh Douglas' theories tried to combine funny money, state control of credit, a feeble application of the Keynes public-works principles, handouts à la Townsend. The attempt was foredoomed by Alberta's economic dependence, the hostility of courts and capital. One of the few non-Marxian reformers taken at his word and told by the voters to pitch in, he did not look like a demagogue to small Canadian investors who knew his administration's clean, high-ranking record in developing natural resources...
...actions square with Marx's teachings. But most genuine Marxists have been driven, by the failure of the Bolshevist Revolution to lead to a Marxist society, to re-examine history.

Most of the stock counter-arguments to Marxian thought can be levelled against this, the most recent addition to the subject. The unrealistic division of modern society into two and only two classes, the distortion of culture into economics plus incidentals, and the ascription of cohesiveness to groups which are obviously not cohesive are all part and parcel of the development of Marxian analysis as it is presented in "The Theory of Capitalist Development...
