Class Warfare, Division of Labor and the Free Market
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing free market philosophies of Karl Marx, Noam Chomsky, George Orwell and Adam Smith. Marx maintains that it is within the power of 'the people' to take control of the power structure controlling profits of owners at the expense of workers. However, Marx's 'the people' is little more than a euphemism for the state, the Big Brother of which Orwell so chillingly wrote. Chomsky espouses the same general attitude, but on a greatly expanded scale: multinational corporations are the owners of production; the people of Third World nations are those exploited and abused. He allows no credit for those people having intelligence of their own and the power to control their own destinies. It is the Smith model that survives as the most legitimate. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Chief Broom is an Indian that has been receiving so-called treatments of electro-convulsion. The protagonist is Randle Patrick McMurphy. McMurphy is also the hero of the story, although his heroism is not what one would consider being 'normal' heroism.
