Abstract
- This paper aims to study if Shakespeare had become aware of the role played by money in the common man's life. His Timon presents an excellent understanding of money power and describes its social role in humanity. Gold is a private venture and is the achievement of the rising middle class. Marx's Das Capital analyses the role of private capital in a detailed manner, while Shakespeare sums up the social and political power of money in a few lines. Timon of Athens is a great contribution to the political economy, as exemplified by Marx in his personal writings. This interpretation of Marx has created a platform for researchers to use literary works as tools to understand economic processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
