Abstract
Marx devoted considerable attention to the discussion of land and rent (Marx, 1969; 1974c, pp. 614–813; 1977, pp. 309–21) which suggests that he regarded it as an important element in the analysis of capitalism. However, his theory of rent is based entirely upon the analysis of agricultural production even though the rest of his theory of capitalism is based upon the analysis of industrial production. In this sense Marx’s analysis of rent is not integrated tightly into the remainder of his analysis.
