‘a writer is a productive laborer not insofar as he produces ideas, but insofar as he enriches the book-seller who publishes his work, or insofar as he is a wage-labourer of a capitalist entrepreneur’

and marx wrote about you too, Professor John Hutnyk :
“Ein Schulmeister, der andre unterrichtet, ist kein produktiver Arbeiter. Aber ein Schulmeister, der als Lohnarbeiter in einem Institut mit andern engagiert ist, um durch seine Arbeit das Geld des Entrepreneurs der knowledge mongering institution zu verwerten, ist ein produktiver Arbeiter.”
Karl Marx
Resultate des unmittelbaren Produktionsprozesses, Produktive und Unproduktive Arbeit
(1863-1865)
my favourite quote from the whole book, except perhaps for the one about sausage factory in ch 16. Thanks J
http://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2010/11/29/sausage-factory/
i got it : you work like a horse to enrich the school proprietor
making sausages that won’t fry at the BBQ of neoliberal end times, or something.
