Just to clarify: I think Mark Jones meant to infer Marx's disillusionment with the prospects of revolution in the advanced outposts of capitalism from his having spent so many of his later years on what became The Ethnological Notebooks, ed. Lawrence Krader. I do know that one of Krader's students Cyril Levitt wrote a dissertation on those Notebooks and Marx's formulations as they relate to the nature of medieval Indian society are discussed by Ram Sharan Sharma. Of course the ethnology on which Marx commented has been discussed in forbidding detail by anthropologists. But why did Marx spend time on these questions rather than prepare Capital and TSV for publication? Yours, Rakesh
