HK:iabsm.Th« was the goal of the London School of Economics, a Fabian
msntution founded by rhc Webbs. But k couldn't avoid being invaded by
persons of other ideas. For instance. (Friedrich A.] Hayek [1899-1992
taught for some years at the London School of Economics. This was the
case m aU countries—European countries had state universities People
generaUy ignored the fact that Marxians, not free traders, were appointed
by the Tur at the imperial universities in Russia. These professors were

Marx didn't see any differences between the various parts of the world.
One of his di>ctrinr^ was that capitalism is one stage in the development
