Vowed I wasn't going to log in again, but I figured Revleft would have some good texts to recommend for this subject. I'm to write a review of David Harvey's "A Brief History of Neoliberalism", and to link it to what I have learnt in the class so far I'm going to compare the class character and ideology of neo-liberalism to classical liberalism, and the different roles the same principles of "the free market" and "right to property" etc etc have in those two distinct social contexts. So I'm looking for something which talks about say, the foundations of liberal thought as a reaction against the dictatorship of the king and aristocracy, etc.
And when Marx says, 'Hitherto the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways', what that 'hitherto' means is not a renunciation of theory and that all we need to do is wade in with our fists and there will be no more need for thought. This idea is in fact fascist, and it would be grossly unjust to Marx to impute such views on him.
