Hari I am using "political economy" in the sense Marx used it in his Inaugural Address to the First International: "social production controlled by social foresight, which forms the political economy of the working class." Maybe some will argue we can't have social production controlled by social foresight without controlling the state. That is not what Marx suggested in the Inaugural Address. He hailed passage of the Ten Hours' Bill as a victory over the political economy of the bourgeoisie by the political economy of the working class and went on to describe the establishment of workers' cooperatives as an even more portentous victory.
