Well, I suppose one could answer, Karl Marx, on the title page of the
first volume of Capital:
Kritik der politschen Oekonomie
Yes, one could answer that way, but one should then explain why Marx
talks about TWO political economies--- the 2nd one being the
'political economy of the working class'. He notes in the Inaugural
Address for the 1st International that 'social production controlled
by social foresight... forms the political economy of the working class'.
So, was Marx a critic of this political economy? And is this
what he was attempting to end?
