He wasn't. Marx argued, the economic process of capitalist society must be analyzed in terms of the social relations between men and men in the production of commodities—rather than as the relation of man with scarce resources. This assumption reflects the standard circuitist view that—in principle—the increase in public expenditure does not face technical constraints, due to the fact that the banking system (and the central bank) can “print money.” On the basis of Marx’s theory of money and its current circuitist interpretation, this assumption seems legitimate. However Hegel's Anarchistic Utopia which inspired both Marx and Engels is extremely similar to the Liberttarian Utopia. They just get there in different ways.
