Had he kept his nose clean, he could have done a postdoc in economics, gotten an academic job, hustled grants advising the Prussian government, all under the aegis of a "noted" mentor. (I believe the "autodidact" remark comes at the same point where Samuelson calls Marx a "minor post-Ricardian.") Andrew Kliman
