Revisiting Adam smith and Karl Marx and their first proposals in their seminal works

Abstract

Adam Smith wrote “Wealth of Nations”. Karl Marx wrote “Capital”. They are regarded as one of their most important works in their lifetime. Both writes from different intellectual spaces, giving an interesting aspect to this research. Hence, the purpose of this article is to revisit them, particularly their first proposals within these books, in order to highlight the most important tenets presented. At the end the reader will make the conclusions, since as Derrida put it, deconstructing a text is co-creating with the author. Several years ago written, it is interesting that the reader makes the deconstruction of “Wealth of Nations” and “Capital”.
