The market economy often seems to have many inherent problems. Indeed, a Marxist historical view presupposes that the fundamental contradictions of capitalism will inevitably lead to socialism. Far from this extreme, Charles Reich, author of âThe Greening of Americaâ and, more recently, âOpposing the System,â believes that individuals must be nonetheless confronted with these contradictions and the human conditions created by material capitalism.
Charles Reich recommends âThe Poetry of Colleridge,â by Charles R. Woodring.
