- tags :: [[file:20200611202011-marx.org][Marx]] [[file:20200720152135-systems_theory.org][Systems theory]]

Based on what I've seen in [[file:literature/20200611201816-capital.org][Capital Vol. 1]] and [[file:literature/20201014222130-capital_vol_2.org][Capital Vol. 2]], Marx thinks of
[[file:capitalism.org][capitalism]] as a system rather than some kind of static thing, and this is one
advantage he has over the classical economists. [[file:20201129140059-adam_smith.org][Adam Smith]] et. al. seem to see
capitalism as some static force, while Marx sees the system in motion.
