Karl Marx
About the Author
Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist whose profound ideas reshaped the course of modern history. Born in Trier, Prussia, Marx studied law and philosophy before immersing himself in radical politics, collaborating closely with Friedrich Engels to critique capitalism and advocate for proletarian revolution. Exiled from several European countries due to his subversive writings, he spent much of his life in London, where he penned his seminal works amid personal hardships and health struggles. Marx's dialectical materialism and theories on class struggle, surplus value, and historical inevitability continue to influence global politics, economics, and social movements, inspiring countless thinkers and activists worldwide.
