Carl Marx

Karl Marx was a 19th-century philosopher, economist, and social theorist who analyzed the ways societies organize production and distribution of wealth. He argued that capitalism creates class struggles between the bourgeoisie (owners of production) and the proletariat (workers), leading to economic inequality and exploitation. Marx believed that this system would eventually be replaced by socialism, where resources are shared more equally, and ultimately by a classless society. His ideas influenced many political movements and emphasize the importance of economic power in shaping society and history.
