 * 5A Gov role in classical economics (Malthus/Ricardo)
 * Malthus thought that Europe was becoming overpopulated. He discouraged people from having children. He only saw the working class’s plight would get worse.
 * Ricardo as well as Malthus advocated “iron law wages”. They didn’t like any wage increases because they saw that when people had more money they would have more kids.
 * Employers and politicians supported these ideas that also suppressed labor unions.
 * This is similar to the way the idea in America that people who use public assistance have kids to get more money. It’s not completely coinciding with it but it’s a similar economic assumption.
 * 5B Marx and Engles "Class Struggle"?
 * Marx and Engles saw history as a series of conflicts between social classes, the lower, first gaining political recognition, then dismantling the systems of the upper.
 * As outlined in The Communist Manifesto, the bourgeoisie made development in stages against the traditional leaders.(Referencing French Revolution and other similar)
 * They then saw it at the proletariat(working class)’s turn to develop through the stages.
 * The proletariat was the revolutionary class but it was being restricted and subject to low wages.
 * They saw the only thing the proletariat had to lose was their chains so they would be able to create a classless society.
