On the Three Sources of Marxism: The Truth and Fantasies (Polemic notes)

Motylyov V.

Abstract

Arguing that the English and French classical political economy can not be regarded as a source of Marx’s economic teaching, the author shows that the views of the main figures of the pre-Marxist economy were much wider than those postulated in the Marx’s labour theory of value.

Keywords

classical English political economy, the labour theory of value in the works of Ricardo and Marx, role of capital and capital accumulation, physiocrats, materialistic understanding of history.
