For some time there has been no direct critique of Marx's ideas
from those who value the position he most harshly attacked,
bourgeois capitalism. The few who did criticize Marx were
economists such as Thomas Sowell, Eugen Boehm-Bawerk, and Ludwig
von Mises. Others attacked Marx's ideas, but did not actually
defend the concept of capitalism. In 1987, shortly before the fall
of the Soviet Union, David Conway published his Farewell to Marx,
which offered a philosophical critique of Marx. This work, however,
developed, in part, from a position that uncritically embraces
economism, or what the author calls the "homo economicus conception
of human life." In Revisting Marxism, Tibor Machan contrasts Marx's
historicist collectivism with a neo-Aristotelian individualism as
presented by, among others, David L. Norton and Ayn Rand. It
criticizes Marxism based on this position, the one he most directly
disparaged. Also included in this volume is an exchange between the
author and the late Sidney Hook, perhaps the most sympathetic
social democratic champion of Marx's ideas.
