C.    Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism just as
D.    Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism similar to

明明后面是Max's Kapital is to socialism. 也就是马克思的资本论 to 社会主义
前面不应该是adam smith的书 to 资本主义么？

E中Max's Kapital is to socialism平行的结构是that里面的，因为前置同位语是a figure，所以abc，全死光
由于你说的需要书来平行结构，所以加入了定语从句
