A HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORIES
Who were the ones who influenced Karl Marx`s thinking? To what school of political economy was he indebted for his basic thought His HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORIES not only subjects the thinking of his predecessors to a searching, critical examination but, in so doing, shows that even the most revolutionary of his ideas had their origin in the classical school of English political economy.
Adam Smith was the overwhelming influence upon the mature Mark In disentangling the intertwinings and contradictions in Adam Smith`s Wealth of Nations, Marx arrived at his own economic theories. His famous and still dispnted-Labor Theory of Value stems directly from Adam Smith. In his thorough examination of the doctrines pro pounded by Adam Smith, Karl Marx bridges the gap between his theory of value and the law of supply and demand. He makes unambiguously clear exactly how far his theory should be pressed and its immediate relationship to formal economic doctrine.
Marx castigated the parasitism of government bureaucrats and flunkies, abhorred economic waste, delved into the `physiological forms of society, deter mined by the natural necessities of pro duction, independent of politics or will,` and, in his analysis of national income formation, anticipated John Maynard Keynes` `factor cost` and `user cost.`
His analysis of Quesnay`s Tableu Economique is the first consistent ex position of the theory of economic depreciation. It has immediate relevance to the labor management problem of our own time in that, Marx claims, the whole product of industry does not resolve into wages and profits alone. Depreciation funds, he infers, are not a proper source of wage increases.
This is the first English translation of Marx`s classic work on early economic doctrines. It is part one of the legendary but previously untranslated Volume IV of DAS KAPITAL.
