In his book "My Life in Pictures" 1974 Charlie said of this photo:
“I’m fourth from the right in the centre row at this dinner given for me in New York. I remember that the man with a moustache on the far right - a well known cartoonist - got drunk that night and was very funny. That’s Marcus Loewe in a pointed cap in the back row.”

Come erravamo - 7
La volontà del capitalista consiste certamente nel prendere quanto più è possibile. Ciò che noi dobbiamo fare non è di parlare della sua volontà, ma di indagare la sua forza, i limiti di questa forza e il carattere di questi limiti.
K. Marx, [Value, Price and Profit, 1865], Salario, Prezzo e Profitto, Roma, Editori Riuniti, 2024 [Trad. Palmiro Togliatti]
Copertina: Per quanto abbia cercato, nella mio elettrolibro non ho trovato riferimenti all'immagine di copertina. Mi sembra strano che non abbiano attribuito il disegno con una chiara indicazione di chi fece quel lavoro…
Rimedio io, almeno per questo post: l'immagine è stata tratta dal fumetto Bringing Up Father (Alcibaldo e Petronilla), disegnato a partire del 1913 dallo statunitense George McManus.
Arcibaldo: Sono diventato ricco col duro lavoro
Operaio: Ma di chi?
