Jerry Cohen dead

G. E. M. de Ste. Croix, g.a. cohen, gerald cohen, gerry cohen, Marx

The formidable mind that is Jerry Cohen is no longer. I have his latest Rescuing Justice and Equality on the back-burner and am now more than ever motivated to get to it. GEM de Ste Croix tried valiantly to apply Jerry’s seminal Karl Marx’s Theory of History: A Defence to his brilliant The Class Struggle in the Ancient Greek World. Update: Times On Line obituary. Another update: Jo Wolff, a student of Jerry’s, will be interviewed in an oral obituary.
