For a good indication of how the analytical synthetic method which
Smith (arguably) developed from Newton would be incompatible with
Marx's method see

Adam Smith's Analytic-synthetic Method and the "System of Natural
Gideon Freudenthal.
Adam Smith's Analytic-synthetic Method and the "System of Natural
Liberty", in: History of European Ideas II,2 (1981), pp. 135 - 154

__________
An important comparative essay on Freudenthal and Witt-Hansesn could
probably be written. On the possible relation of Newtonianism to Marx
the three most important essays I know are these two, plus Burkett's.
And of course there is Boris Hessen, recently defended by
Freudenthal.

Please share citations on this most important topic.
