About the Author: Karl Heinrich Marx was a German philosopher, economist, sociologist, historian, journalist and revolutionary socialist (5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883). His ideas played an important role in the foundation of sociology and in the development of socialist movements. Marx was considered one of the greatest economists in history. He published several books during his lifetime, the most important of which are The Manifesto of the Communist Party (1848) and Das Kapital (1867–1894). Born into a wealthy middle-class family in Trier in the Prussian Rhineland, Marx studied at the University of Bonn and the University of Berlin, where he became interested in the philosophical ideas of the Young Hegelians. He was associated with Jenny von Westphalen in 1836 AD, and married her in 1843 AD after his studies. He wrote for a radical newspaper in Cologne, and began to develop his theory of dialectical materialism. After moving to Paris in 1843, he began writing for other radical newspapers.

Karl Marx was commissioned by the Communist League along with Friederich Engels to write The Communist Manifesto. The manifesto is considered to be one of the world’s most influential political tracts. The Manifesto established a course of action for the working class revolution to overthrow the bourgeois social order and bring about a classless society. In 1859 Marx published A Contribution To The Critique Of Political Economy, which was his first serious economic work. Marx discusses the production and naturalization of capitalism. His theory is that the course of history is dependent on economic developments. From the preface “In the social production that men carry on, they enter into definite relations that are indispensable and independent of their will, relations of production which correspond to a definite stage of development of their material forces of production. The sum total of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which rises a legal and political superstructure, and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production in material life determines the general character of the social, political, and intellectual processes of life. It is not the consciousness of men which determines their existence; it is on the contrary their social existence which determines their consciousness.”
