Marxist legal theory
Quick Reference
Any approach to legal theory based on the social and economic thought of Karl Marx (1818–1883) and Friederich Engels (1820–1895). This involves a materialist view of social life in which law and the state are accorded a subordinate position as part of the superstructure, as opposed to the fundamental economic infrastructure, of society.
