Political Economy Habermas III 19
Political Economy/Habermas: In the 18th century, political economy competed with rational natural law and worked out the independence of a system of action held together by functions rather than primarily by norms.(1) >Actions/Habermas, >Action Systems/Habermas, >Action theory/Habermas, >Economics.
IV 276
Political economy/natural law/Habermas: while modern doctrines of natural law could neglect the autonomy of a functionally stabilized bourgeois society from the rationally constructed state, the classics of political economy tried to prove that the system imperatives basically harmonized with the basic norms of a community that guarantee freedom and justice. >Justice, >Community, >Freedom.
MarxVsPolitical Economy/Habermas: In the form of a critique of the political economy, Marx has destroyed this illusion with practical consequences; he has shown that the laws of capitalist goods production have the latent function of maintaining a class structure that mocks bourgeois ideals. Marx devaluates the world of the capitalist carrier layers, which interprets itself in rational natural law and in general in the ideals of bourgeois culture, into a socio-cultural superstructure. With the image of basis and superstructure, he also expresses the methodical demand to exchange the internal perspective of the lifeworld for an observer perspective from which the a tergo system imperatives of the independent economy influencing the bourgeois lifeworld can be grasped. Only in a socialist society could, according to Marx, the ban imposed by the system on the world be broken, could the dependence of the superstructure be dissolved from the basis.

Socialism Marx Höffe I 366
Scientific Socialism/Marx/Höffe: In contrast to Proudhon's socialism, which is debased as "utopian," "petty-bourgeois", and "doctrinaire," Marx is not satisfied with a "utopian interpretation" of the previous national economy. He does indeed adopt Proudhon's guiding goal, the classless society. According to the Communist Party's Manifesto (1848)(1), written together with Engels, the "history of all previous society consists in the history of class struggles," which recalls Hegel's theorem of >master and slave. Religion/Marx/Höffe: astonishingly, [in the manifesto] (...) the religious opposites that dominate at least modern times are not mentioned.
>Religion.
Höffe I 367
According to the eleventh Feuerbach thesis, Marx is convinced of the mission and at the same time convinced of the power of a theory (...). With its help he believes he can achieve his goal, - establishing a classless society - and bring about the necessary path, the revolutionary transformation of the existing society.
Höffe I 368
VsPolitical Economy: "Capital"(3) [rejects] the previous political economy (economics) (...) and develops an alternative. Labor: In one point Marx (...) agrees with his liberal opponents: As with Locke, wages should be based on the amount of work done.
MarxVsSmith, Adam/MarxVsRicardo: Marx accuses his opponents of an unhistorical approach and the extrapolation resulting from it, which is in fact unacceptable: According to Marx, the laws of economic development asserted by Smith and Ricardo are not eternally valid laws of nature. They apply only to the modern, namely capitalist form of economy and society.
>Adam Smith, >David Ricardo.
He concedes that the traditional national economy has enlightened the mechanism of production relations: the connection of private property with the separation of labor and capital, with the division of labor, competition, etc.
But he accuses it of a "fatalistic economy" that does not concern itself with the conditions of the origin of production relations and therefore does not recognize the law of their change. He contrasts this with what is later called historical materialism ("histomat").
Commodity/Money: [Marx] begins with the analysis of commodity and money as the material preconditions and formal elements. He concedes to capital the world-historical task of developing all productive forces of labor. On the other hand, however, it prevents what is indispensable for a truly humane economy: that labor or the worker becomes the subject of social processes.
