My own exposure to him was primarily through his early works, which are at least worth reading to get a good grip on his intellectual genealogy. I think his foundational commitment to Hegel is ultimately what prevents him from repudiating Prometheus and revolution, not necessarily the fact that his thoughts are sanctioned by money.
