Resumo(s)
Marx, then a just emerging Marxism, occurred, as in other European countries, around 1850, when some intellectuals, particularly sensitive to what was going on the European political and cultural scene, got in touch with the learnings of the new socialist school. From this brief summary of the most important references to Marx's ideas we may conclude that the authors mentioned had an academic background and no practical political socialist positions. As a matter of fact the type of academic that once in contact with Marxism becomes involved in socialist political action did not exist in Portugal during this period. At the same time, the advancement in the knowledge of Marxist economic theories was obvious (33), in spite of the fact that they had never been used in an extended analysis of the Portuguese economic situation, and that their knowledge was often obtained in second hand, However, the discipline of social science to receive the prime impact of Marxism would be economics. Imperialism, immiserization, underdevelopment of Portuguese economy, agrarian reform, would be important subjects the Marxist sectors put in the political agenda of that period. This tact lead economists more influenced by Marxist ideas to back Marxist doctrinal and political interventions in a larger knowledge and spreading of economic theory. .
