I hate to say it, but Karl Marx has been of far greater import to the history of the 20th century than just about anybody else. He's inspired millions of people - the inspiration of which lead to millions more deaths. Carl Menger, of Austrian Economics fame, is an inspiration to myself, but most people don't even know who he is. Side: Karl Marx

Carl Menger, of Austrian Economics fame, is an inspiration to myself, but most people don't even know who he is. Probably, it has to do with the TENTH PILLAR OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO. Public schools will mention all the glorious attributes of Karl Marx, but ignore Carl Menger as if he never existed. Side: Carl Menger
Public schools will mention all the glorious attributes of Karl Marx, but ignore Carl Menger as if he never existed. You can't blame that entirely on the public schools, though. Marx is so well known because we were in a cold war with his disciples for decades, whereas few people - public school teachers included - have never heard of Menger. Side: Carl Menger
