Abstract

When Friedrich Engels finally published Volume III of Das Kapital, Werner Sombart wrote an extensive review in which he commented favourably on its central themes. Engels responded in a friendly way, although he expressed reservations against Sombart’s interpretation of the labour theory of value as “instrument of thinking”. After Engels’ death in 1895, Sombart wrote an obituary which was an appreciation of his work and life, at the same time an anticipation of Sombart’s book Sozialismus und soziale Bewegung (1896) which was republished in revised and enlarged form eight times until 1920. This chapter traces Sombart’s changing attitudes towards the work of Marx and Engels through several of his books up to his magnum opus Der moderne Kapitalismus (third volume 1927).
