of the accounts of Marx's thought produced by scholars of the older gener-
ation - Daniel Bell, 'The Debate on Alienation', in Revisionism (1962); Sidney
Hook, From Hegel to Marx (2nd ed. 1962); Lewis Feuer, 'What is alienation?
The career of a concept', New Politics (1962) - are in a need of revision. It
was the thesis of these writers that there was a radical break between the
Young and the Old Marx; and the major proof of this was held to be
the absence in the later writings of the concept of alienation so central
to the earlier works. In addition, the writers who have wished to minimise
the influence of Hegel on Marx will have to revise their ideas.

the primitive model of an automatic machine to be a clock. Marx derived a
lot of his information on automatic spinning machinery (as well as other
aspects of factory life) from Engels to whom he often turned for help
in these practical questions. He confessed to his friend: 'I understand the
mathematical laws, but the simplest technical reality, where observation is
necessary, is as difficult for me as for the greatest ignoramus....' (MEW
xxx 320).
