Rimskopravni elementi Marxova „Kapitala“
Roman legal elements in Marx’s „Kapital“

Summary/Abstract: Karl Marx (1818-1883) published his most important work “Das Kapital” in 1867. He worked on it for almost quarter of a century and for many years it was understood as the biggest criticism of capitalism and as the political economy of socialism. In the work, the author also included his law education through the use of elements of the law of pandect which he learned from professor Savigny (F. K. von Savigny, 1779-1861), the founder of classical historical law school at the University of Berlin. He also incorporated his knowledge from literature and rhetoric. Marx greatly used the knowledge from Latin literature which he attended at the University of Bonn from professor A. V. Schlegel. Therefore, in the “Kapital: critique of political economy” one can see the influx of roman legal elements, primarily in processing and explanation of the processes of capital production. The paper mostly analyses the first volume of the “Kapital” because volumes II and III were edited by Friedrich Engels and volume IV by Karl Kautsky.
