Controversy

edit

It's a disservice not to mention the controversy Wittfogel's "oriental despotism" and "hydraulic society" theories generated. GrimmC (talk) 08:43, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Horrific footnoting

edit

I'm not sure where that style of footnoting came from in this article, but it is non-standard and makes the body damned near impossible to edit. It needs to go away in favor of the standard "ref" format of inline footnoting. Carrite (talk) 06:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Publications

edit

Would anyone be opposed to consolidating his publications (by him and about him) under one section, called Publications? Then housing the various sections as subsections, such as "Selected works (German)", "Selected works (English)", "Plays", etc. Right now it seems unevenly organized.
