<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 786792, member: 19122&quot;]Did not Lincoln predate Marx? And I tend to think that there were probably some differences between how Honest Abe viewed the question and how carl marx viewed it?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not talking about Marxes view, but the theory stated by Lincoln that wealth is produced by labor, now I can see how a Rembrandt painting may have taken less labor and time to produce than somebody elses matchstick castle, and how the market would assign relative values to them, but Lincolns assertion that labor is prior to capital still stands as self evident, for even&nbsp; if someone inherits a great fortune, there was still labor involved in producing that fortune.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
