The Marxist transformation

Guy Routh

Chapter 4 in The Origin of Economic Ideas, 1989, pp 198-217 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This is an appropriate point to examine the ideas of Karl Marx (1818–83) and Friedrich Engels (1820–95).1 By the time they began publishing, the soporific doctrines of the popularisers had reached their zenith, while those of the marginalists had not yet begun. Marx and Engels were fond of polarities and contradictions, and this led them to turn other people’s theories upside down. It is a cautionary discovery that many theories are improved by this treatment.
