About the Author

Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), the intellectual giants of modern socialism, were German philosophers, economists, and revolutionary theorists whose collaborative works profoundly shaped the course of history. Born in Trier, Marx studied law and philosophy before immersing himself in radical journalism and economic analysis, while Engels, from a prosperous industrial family in Barmen, provided both financial support and co-authorship to their groundbreaking ideas. Together, they critiqued capitalism's exploitative nature, advocating for proletarian revolution and the establishment of a classless society. Their enduring partnership produced seminal texts that continue to inspire global movements for social justice and economic equality, influencing thinkers, activists, and policymakers across generations.
