I think Paul Lafargue's The Right To Be Lazy, the most popular of
revolutionary tracts, deserves a spot on your list of translations.

Thanks.

Ay, yi yi, Alex and Jeff. Who are you hanging out with? How can
include Roland Barthes and leave out Gershon Legman? How can you put
in Freud but leave out his work on Jokes? That book by Propp on the
folktale is a total bore but you left out Afanasaye'ev's Russian
folktale collections. Two Tylenol, please!

Nice list Counterpunch.

I would suggest that you consider including some Pierre
Bourdieu and Jurgen Habermas in the future. Take the
Frankfurt School 1 step beyond Dialectic of Enlightenment.
