Which pair is correctly matched (thinker who influenced Marx and the idea he was inspired in)?
- 1. Feuerbach: materialism and alienation
- 2. Hegel: dialectical historical idealism
- 3. David Ricardo: theory of surplus labour
- 4. Proudhon: property as theft
A1 and 3 ✓ Correct
B1 and 2
C2 and 3
D1 and 4
Correct answer: (A) 1 and 3 — Pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 3.
Explanation
★Pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 3.
★From Feuerbach, Marx took a materialist outlook and the idea of alienation.
★From David Ricardo's labour theory of value, Marx developed his theory of surplus labour and value.
★Pair 2 is wrong, because from Hegel Marx took the dialectic but made it materialist, not idealist.
★Marx famously turned Hegel's dialectic the right way up, onto a material base.
★Pair 4 is wrong, because Proudhon's slogan was property is theft, which Marx reworked into profit as theft.
★So only the Feuerbach and Ricardo influences are stated correctly here.
