Paul A,
"Mankind thus inevitably sets itself only such tasks as it is able to solve,
since closer examination will always show that the problem itself arises
only when the material conditions for its solution are already present or
at least in the course of formation" ("Preface" to _A Contribution to the
Critique of Political Economy_).
As I have remarked before, I find this assertion to be problematic.
In solidarity, Jerry
