ABSTRACT
Although it may seem strange that there are points of comparison between the work of an eighteenth-century Scottish aristocrat with Jacobite sympathies and that of a nineteenth-century German philosopher and leader of an international working-men’s association, a study of the two works brings many similarities to the forefront. Steuart’s Principles of Political Œconomy and Marx’s Capital have a great deal more in common than the fact that they share the same year in which to celebrate centenaries of publication.
