Their analysis of capitalism cannot be separated

JOURNAL OF LAW AND SOCIETY VOLUME 20‚ NUMBER 4‚ WINTER 1993 0263-323X Marx and Law ANDREW VINCENT* There is no sense in which Marx can be described as just a legal theorist. He did not write any systematic works on legal science or jurisprudence; however‚ his observations on law are both immensely penetrating and contain an extremely subtle interweaving of philosophical‚ political‚ economic‚ and legal strands.
