In the “Communist Manifesto”, Marx states [the Bourgeoisie] “has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous "cash payment." It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless and indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom— Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation. (Engels, Friedrich; Marx, Karl (2012-05-17). The Communist Manifesto (p. 3). . Kindle Edition). In modern society, how might this quote apply? For example, how much influence does a credit rating have on how you are treated in the world? Why do doctors so often need to be reminded to treat “the whole person”? How might this apply to how the poor are discussed and treated?
