Abstract

A treatment of Marxian public economics, more than other cases, faces several problems and needs some initial methodological premises and justification. There exists an objective difficulty in discussing Marxian economics as such for a simple reason: Marx himself laid out his programme in Das Kapital as a critique of political economy (and more generally of economics), to be read as a critique of capitalist economics. Economics is, in Marx’s view, a false science reflecting the interest of the ruling class, and, chief among other social sciences, will necessarily be based on an ideological bias in favour of the status quo
