Should government (including the Federal Reserve Bank) step in to rescue the economy when there is a major banking crisis (as there was in the Fall of 2008) and then to attempt to stimulate economic recovery to keep the nation out of depression? Should government act to insure that all Americans have access to health care? Or are these types of activities improper "big government" that is antithetical to a market (capitalist) system? What do you think? What would Marx say and how would that illustrate his "theory of the state"?
