      How does that work? He critiques other economists. There's no reason to claim he is where it starts and Im fairly sure he would disagree with that claim.

        I was speaking of modern economics. Marx brought together all the correct analysis from different economists, yes, but Marx is better because he made something coherent out of it. The majority of many others opinions at the time were very infantile, as you can see with the critique of utopian socialism. Starting an economics class, one should read the correct and well established analysis before picking through the bones of bad economists with one or two good points marx used. Theres a reason he's one of the most cited people in history.
