So is Marx, and Adam Smith.
I would pay to see a cage fight between the two.
There wouldnt be a fight tho lol, much of Marx work is a continuation to Adam Smith and other classical economists.
Uhhhhh, there would most definitely be a fight. I don’t think Smith would be to friendly with Marx seeing as how Smith’s writings created the literal foundation of classical liberalism and capitalism. Rational self interest, competition leads to progress, free hand of the market, all of those are concepts that Marx explicitly denies and are directly in opposition to dialectical materialism.
Smith might be interested in hearing Marx out, but he would have disagreed with the vast majority of Marx’s points and economic theories.
Both would bond over their shared hatred for landlords.
