Abstract: Abstract As early as The Poverty of Philosophy of 1847, Marx comments upon what he takes to be the ahistorical quality of the treatment of economic categories in classical political economy. These critical remarks - which are indeed just remarks made in passing in the midst of a critique of Proudhon’s Hegeloid appropriation of the political economists (The material of the economists is active and effective human life; the material of M. Proudhon are the dogmas of the economists’1) - have served as a rallying point for historicist interpreters of Marx. Lukάcs cites them with evident enthusiasm
