anniversary

[Brad DeLong]

>Today's the 154th anniversary of the publication of the Communist Manifesto.

And I urge everyone to read George Boyer's (1998), "Historical 
Background of the Communist Manifesto," _Journal of Economic 
Perspectives_ 12:4 (Fall), pp. 151-74 
<http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/20th_Century/refs/Boyer_Manifesto.pdf>. 
It is, I think, the best orthodox neoclassical historical take on the 
_Manifesto_ I have ever seen.

(Yes, I did commission it.)
