14. FYI Marx didn't start that. he's the other bookend

of Classical Economics. The other bookend is Adam Smith. Ricardo refined it.

And the whole discussion on labor in Das Kapital is a polemic on a couple chapters in the Wealth of Nations.

When seen in the classic continuity it makes even MORE sense.

And it is funny to see many a "capitalist" reel when Marx is mentioned, never mind Smith started that.
