Thanks, Louis. I am deeply honored and am blushing. The move to Marx occurred when I was a fellow in Law and Humanities at Harvard Law School in 1975-76. The fellowship meant I could audit any undergraduate course, and I gleefully took every one (not in science) taught by a Marxist. This, plus their reading, plus friendship with many graduate students and teaching assistants, moved me onto the road towards Marxism. It greatly helped also that liberalism was (is) such a failure, at democracy, at equality, and at telling the truth. And here I still am.
