Carlos Marx

Karl Marx was a 19th-century philosopher and economist who analyzed how societies organize their economies and class relationships. He argued that history is shaped by the struggle between the working class (proletariat) and the owning class (bourgeoisie). Marx believed that capitalism creates inequality by concentrating wealth and power among a few, while workers produce value but receive less benefits. His ideas advocate for a society where the means of production are shared collectively, aiming for economic equality and social justice. Marx's work laid the foundation for modern socialist and communist thought and influenced many social and political movements.
