Marx received detailed reports on U.S. cotton markets from Engels, Phil Magness notes
Marx knew funding source from Engels

Phil Magness points out that Marx was aware of the source of his patron's funds because Engels sent him detailed letters about the cotton markets in the U.S. These letters were informed by Engels' own stake as a manager in the cotton textile mill business.

Magness highlights the connection between Engels' financial involvement in the cotton industry and the updates he provided Marx on market conditions.

Magness has previously addressed claims about U.S. tax burdens, stating that top earners pay about a 41 percent combined rate in federal, state, and local taxes. He has also examined how the Saez and Zucman Billionaire Tax proposal challenges traditional U.S. tax principles by seeking to tax unrealized gains as income, according to a past analysis. These earlier discussions highlight Magness’s focus on how financial structures and policies affect individual actors.
