I would include Marx in the list of famous thinkers on the subject, of course.
I would love to know what their thoughts would be now, given the new information and other world changes we see now.
The main thing missing from most economists analyses is solar energy.
It can't be ignored or denied that wealth in the form of tokens created from the energy of sunlight is being pumped into the back door of what is still considered a zero sum economy.
My money would be on some very different conclusions if Marx and others could see and comment on this now.
