Comparative analysis of the doctoral dissertations of Wilhelm Roscher (1838) and Karl Marx (1841) sheds light on two scholars who would prove pivotal for the development of political economy in the 19th century. Conceived in the German academic tradition, both dissertations contain analyses of certain ancient Greek theories - Roscher about the historical doctrine of the older sophists, Marx about the philosophy of nature of Democritus and Epicurus - and each unfolds its analysis more or less in the light of contemporary political problems. Certain aspects of the later theoretical works of the respective writers can be discerned already in their doctoral dissertations. The confrontation with antiquity serves as a point of departure for basic problems of modernity, showing at the same time the historical limits of ancient philosophy itself
