Adjective

Marxian (comparative more Marxian, superlative most Marxian)

  1. Of, pertaining to, or influenced by the 19th-century philosopher Karl Marx and his political and economic theories; now often distinguished from Marxist by the nuance that one does not necessarily adhere to Marxism itself. [from 19th c.]
    • 2005, Bruce Philp, Reduction, Rationality and Game Theory in Marxian Economics, page 3:
      But to use game theory in a Marxian setting requires more that simply adopting the tools and methods of non-cooperative game theory, root and branch.
  2. Of, relating to, or characteristic of the Marx Brothers or their films.
