My acquaintance with marxism is less scholarly than it should be, but I am very interested in the development of debates about the concept of ideology and its various marxist, neo marxist and marxian variations - particularly as they impinge upon the operations of the mass media and education at all levels. I guess that is enough to be going on with. I am also interested in the fact that marx is nearly always cited by his opponents for his gross miscalculations and seldom or never for acute analysis of the power structures and informing principles of capitalism. I look forward to reading, thinking and maybe even debating with you. Best wishes Robert Ferguson Robert Ferguson ------------------
