"Marx spoke of economic analysis as a starting point for political theory, expressing his fears about this,"she added.

During the speech, Marx addressed his French publisher, saying: "I have entered into our contract that 2,000 francs must be paid two weeks after the application for my new book, If you don't mind, I prefer to pay the money on July 1, because otherwise I will have to liquidate some sound investments.
