Yes on the second, not necessarily on the first.

There is a case for some commonalities, at least in the implied critique of
other types of economics, but I'll leave exegesis to others who are
qualified on this.  It's much too unfamiliar territory for me.  I have a
buddy with whom I went to grad school who migrated from Marx to the
Austrians, though he says he is a Democrat.  I can't say he's confused,
cause he's too smart.
