The dominant view is that Marx was simply a student of the classical economists, the completer of their work or their successor. Along with this goes a definite idea: The innermost essence of Smith and Ricardo's labor theory of value leads to socialism, although its founders did not draw this conclusion. Marx was the first to think Ricardo's theory through to the end, supplying, as it were, its final, unspoken word. It must be admitted that this interpretation appears extremely dubious when looked at from the general position of the critique of political economy, if indeed the development of political economy and of the opposition to which it gives rise keeps pace with the real development of the class conflicts and social contradictions inherent in capitalist production. Marx distinguished four periods within the development of political economy, of which the first contains \"classical economics\" and the other three the various stages of \"vulgar economics.\"
