Marx on Crime and Criminal Law Professors マグカップ

“A philosopher produces ideas, a poet verse, a parson sermons, a professor text-books, etc. A criminal produces crime. The criminal produces not only crime but also the criminal law; he produces the professor who delivers lectures on this criminal law, and even the inevitable text-book in which the professor presents his lectures as a commodity for sale in the market” “This brings with it augmentation of national wealth, quite apart from the personal enjoyment which the manuscript of the compendium brings to its originator himself” (Karl Marx, ‘Apologist Conception of the Productivity of All Professions’, Theories of Surplus Value, 1861-3)
