    Both wrote about economic systems before economics was even a thing.

    Lol. Lmao, even.

    and our society, have advanced dramatically in the 140+ years they’ve been dead.

    In what manner has this proven Marx wrong?

      You’re very good at saying you’re right and very bad at providing evidence. The best thing about lemmy’s size is I can recognize which usernames to disregard immediately after enough encounters.

        What evidence am I supposed to provide here, exactly? I’m asking for clarification.

        The books Marx wrote are the evidence. If you read them then you’d see why they are obviously relevant today. Of course, reading and understanding serious literature takes more effort than trolling on public forums.

          Are there any modern books which talk about the same/similar contents which are easier/smaller for a beginner to start?

            These books are fairly accessible and touch on a lot of the same ideas you’d find in seminal works like Das Kapital
