My Understanding Of Marx Part Three – Robert Paul Wolff

Summary:
Part Three: Classical Political EconomyMarx and Engels had a little private joke that they would use in their lengthy correspondence to one another. They would say: we got our philosophy from the Germans, our politics from the French, and our economics from the English. Marx began his revolutionary investigation of the nature of capitalism by studying everything he could lay his hands on in the new field of Political Economy.
