A Tale of Three Karls: Marx, Popper, Polanyi and Post-Socialist Europe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2010
Extract
The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children's games from the beginning… [O]ne of the games to which it most attached is called… ‘Cheat the Prophet’. [The prophets] took something or other that was certainly going on in their time, and than sait it would go on more and more until something extraordinary happened. … The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until att the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. They then go and do something else.
