Read Adam Smith's On the Wealth of Nations Marx cites his reading of Smith's philosophy as an influence. Among other things, Smith advocates for a progressive taxation system, national primary education, national health care and worker rights. There are things in Nations that are down right socialist. But just like the Bible, everyone knows the books but nobody reads the damn thing.
