It seeks to defines the abstract and objective law of nature in economy from the Capitalist mode of production, which leads to its fetishism in analytical strategies of economy. On the other hand, it comes from the social reality, uncovering the essential aspects profoundly, such as Cpitalistic relations and the hidden class-contradictions, characterized by socio-materialism in depth. Just due to his bare exposure of the actual capitalistic life and its economy at that time, he inevitably met with the serious criticism in ethics from humanists.
