Critiques of capitalism other than Marx's

[UltraWright]

What (sound) critiques of capitalism which aren't Marx-like have been proposed?

[o well this is ok I guess]

Aren't Marx-like?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by that?

[NewSocialist]

Read Proudhon's What is Propery?—it's basically a critique of capitalism from a mutualist perspective.

[Zealot]

Joseph Schumpeter's "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy". He actually believed that socialism would replace capitalism but differed with Marx on a few things including how the overthrow of capitalism would occur

Yeah, what exactly are you talking about?

Most people here whether they'd admit it or not more or less agree with Marx's analysis of capitalism. To put it another way, almost no one here thinks that non-Marxist critiques of capitalism are "sound".

[Susurrus]

Possibly J.S. Mill?

Most people here whether they'd admit it or not more or less agree with Marx's analysis of capitalism. To put it another way, almost no one here thinks that non-Marxist critiques of capitalism are "sound". I think it's more like nobody really does any non-marxist critiques.
All of them start from earlier study in Marx.
We can't really escape Marx in our critiques. Even a critique of Marx must start from Marx.

You might want to include ‘retrospectively’ the Ricardian socialists and people like John Gray and I attach link below as it includes some other bods that might be bracketed in with ‘non Marxist anti capitalists’.

There is also Robert Owen as well I suppose.

Proudhonism probably the best example, Karl and Fred actually got on quite well together before they fell out.

Contemporary “non Marxist” critiques of capitalism might include Pareconism I suppose.
