Brad McCormick wrote in reply to a comment of mine re Marx getting a job instead of sitting around starving and theorizing: You bring out a very important consideration. To paraphrase an old Coca-Cola ad, what, at the back of our minds, all us scholars (in both senses of that word...) are looking to find, is a funding source, so we won't have to WASTE our lives and die an early death in "the mills". Am I correct that Engels helped "underwrite" Marx's work? I think that under my Proposal, the question he poses would be solved - for the benefit of all those creative people who can not find "a funding source". Respectfully, Thomas Lunde
