The influence of this idea of "interests" is enormous. First of all
remember that this doctrine doesn't say men act and think according to
what they consider to be their interests. Secondly, remember that they

itidependent interests force men to think and to act in a definite way As an
example of the influence this idea has on our thinking today I might
mention a U.S. Senator—not a Democrat—who said that people vote
•iccording to their "interests"; he didn't say in accordance with what they
think to be their interests. This is Marx's idea—assuming that "interests" are
something definite and apart from a person's ideas. This idea of class
doctrine was first developed by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto.

\Nralthy. He hunted for fox in a red coat—this was the pastime of the
rich. He had a girifi-iend he considered too far beneath him to think

married the sister, but just as she was dying—only two days before
her death.
