Not the usual first paragraph in a New Republic article:
One of the most important lessons of Karl Marx's Capital is that
capitalism is not a self-regulating mechanism (with which the
government interferes at its own peril), but a set of
government-enforced social relations that structure the production and
distribution of wealth. These relationships--depicted in Economics 101
textbooks as "natural" rather than "man-made"--are largely invisible
except in times of economic crisis, when they can become key factors
in shaping the government's response.

Well, it was written by John Judis who was some kind of 60s radical,
even a Maoist, as I understand it.
