Cox's the Foundations of Capitalism

Cox began the work that culminated in this radical book while teaching at wiley college, a black college in texas. By the time he finished cast class and race, cox was working at tuskegee, a surprising staging ground for such radicalism. In an article on washington's leadership, he wrote that washington was no leader at all, but a controller of the masses who demanded less for the negro people than that which the ruling class had already conceded. For all his sharp criticism of the ruling as and hope for a socialist future, he is not a marxist.
