Quotation from Karl Marx and the Close of His System by Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk
“The Marxian system has a past and a present, but no abiding future”
Karl Marx and the Close of His System, Chapter V: Werner Sombart's Apology, trans. Alice M. Macdonald (1898)
From the closing pages of Chapter V, where Böhm-Bawerk predicts that a system built on what he calls a hollow dialectic will lose its influence only slowly, because it is supported by its followers' hopes as much as by argument.
