Karl Marx is arguably the greatest economist in the 19th century, if not of all time!

2. Marx’s two famous books
Below are Karl Marx’s two famous books.
- Read Wikipedia – The Communist Manifesto. For more, listen to the audiobook: com/watch?v=Ie2YI79d-Rg.
- Read Wikipedia – Das Kapital. For more, listen to the audiobook: com/watch?v=LE6qa3bhnOo.
3. Discussion
Two notes about Marx’s two books:
- “The Manifesto” is merely a pamphlet, while “Capital” is a 3-volume book.
- The former was published more than two decades before the latter.
Still wondering how and why Marx did a much better job on capitalism than on communism?
Wonder not – He not only was much older and wiser when he wrote “Capital”, but also spent much more effort on it.
4. More discussion
Below is an image from my last book (History 2.0 – China’s Comeback vs. America’s Decline) – I ranked three greatest economists, one for each of the past three centuries.
Today, I am arguing that Karl Marx is the best economist of all time! Two main reasons:
- China is back, offering a significant model of prosperity based on Marxism, without colonialism!
- Karl Marx has been condemned in the West (aka “colonial powers”) over the past 100 years, at least, while the other two have been oversold. As I (and we) re-write the history since 1492, much new light must be shed on Karl Marx and Marxism.
