That should be your expertise so I make no comments about this.
My only concern is with Marx's writing style. I find him very
difficult to read. For example, this sentence:

> If, therefore, industry is conceived as the exoteric
> revelation of man's essential powers, we also gain an

What exactly this sentence says, I am not sure. Maybe, partly
because he wrote the original in German and this is a
not-so-great translation and partly because to me English is a
code I am decoding. Nevertheless, it is a difficulty I have to
live with I suppose.

Best,
