I actually like many of his books but his role as a political activist, especially during the 1960s, left something to be desired. There was an extensive thread about this on Marxmail around New Year's time. Some of my posts on this issue include: http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2008w52/msg00145.htm http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2009w00/msg00027.htm http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2009w00/msg00050.htm
