a couple of brief responses

First of all, my comment could hardly be termed "grandiose political commentary," unless you were reading into it some political agenda that uses Marxism as a sort of boogey man.

The simple fact is that the last time I heard about jobs being alienating was in college during Soc. 101, where we studied Karl Marx. I was not intending to suggest that the author of this book was a Marxist -- or that he even knows who Marx is -- but rather that the quoted language reminded me of Marxism. How can a statement that equates work with alienation not be considered Marxist in nature? Just like Gordon Gekko saying "greed is good" is a capitalist comment.

Let me try it another way, Marx, like the author of this book, failed in my opinion to see the communal value in a vibrant marketplace, e.g., our very own B/S/T.
