Nope. Too much futurology, although, to be fair, I haven't actually read Wealth and Poverty, only his bit pieces.

As an aside, I was re-reading Revolt of the Masses in an Irish pub in Madrid, just after the 9/11 attacks, and some Irish putz came up to me and said that if I really wanted to understand why Bin Laden hated us (not that that is what I was attempting to do), I should read some Noam Chomsky. I decided to leave rather than smash my Guiness over his head.

The great thing about Ortega y Gasset is his view on "The Barbarism of Specialization," which made me realize that I wasn't a total loser for leaving grad school with only a master's.
