Citing Marx’s response to Timon’s money speech, O’Dair claims: ‘Marx would like us to agree that what happens to Timon is predictive or symbolic of what will happen to society under the influence of money and capital. 46 His ‘anti-capitalism’ is everywhere oriented toward the future, not the past, as I will show in the next section. 48 Marxism instead points out not only that the working class has had to struggle for every gain – and is now losing ground – but, more important, that markets restrict ‘voices’ more than they ‘allow’ them.

Marx glosses this observation in a footnote with a speech from Timon of Athens, to which he returns several times in his work. In Shakespeare’s play, once wealthy Timon is impoverished by profligate generosity, and abandoned by men he once considered his friends.
