Chapter 3 The Oppressed Human Spirit
P. N. Fedoseyev et al., Karl Marx: A Biography (Moscow: Progress Publishers, 1973) p. 9.
John O’Neill, Sociology as a Skin Trade (London: Heinemann Educational Books, 1972) p. 132. In his Alienation (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1973) p. 246, Bertell Oilman suggests that ‘emphasizing the place of alienation in capitalism does not mean that other forms of society where some relations of alienation exist cannot be described in similar terms’; but this does not meet O‘Neill’s essential point.
Alvin Toffler, Future Shock (New York: Bantam Books, 1970, and subsequent printings; London: The Bodley Head, 1970; Pan Books, 1975).
