s. So when I cite "the
political economy of the working class" from the Inaugural Address it is
not simply that I have found a phrase I prefer but that I have identified a
phrase that for me (and in my view presumably for Marx) sums up so much
that he is saying in a vast corpus.

victory over the political economy of the bourgeoisie by the political
economy of the working class and went on to describe the establishment of

rlie is right about one more thing, Marx did indeed tailor his public
pronouncements to his audiences. That's why it is prudent to also examine
his manuscripts that were intended solely for his self-clarification.

aps we might view it as a "thought experiment" rather
than a feasible political program. My sense, though, is that Marx viewed it
