About classsical
The term classical was used not only by Marx but by other German
economists and historians about the middle of nineteenth century. For
example Julius Kautz (who was Hungarian but studied at Leipzig) in his
history of economics (with a reference to his former professor W.Roscher)
characterized England as "the classical home of theoretical and practical
economics {National-Oekonomie}" and listed Hume, Smith, Ricardo and Malthus
as "the classical masters of the discipline" excluding the second rank:
Torrens, MacCulloch, Senior, James Mill, Wakefield, Tooke, Banfield and
John Stuart Mill. (Julius Kautz: Die geschichtliche Entwicklung der
National-Oekonomie und ihre Literatur Wien, 1860, pp. 488-489) This usage
of a metaphor was influenced by contemporary literary and aesthetic theory.
