ESSAY for FINAL

One thing to think about on your final is one single short answer question.
Who is right (or to what degree) Marx or Smith
Karl Marx video summary of his ideas - ( here )
Adam Smith video summary of his ideas - ( here )
Here is a good video comparing the two - ( here 

To prepare for the next Semester, each student should be aware of the Adam Smith vs Karl Marx influences throughout the world. Russia, China, and Cuba go the way of Marx. America and Great Britain stay with Smith, Germany and Italy take their own Nationalistic path.
