"Karl Marx's Theory of History"

Karl Marx's Theory of History suggests that society’s development is driven by economic forces and class struggles. It proposes that history progresses through stages where the ruling class (bourgeoisie) exploits the working class (proletariat). This conflict creates tensions that eventually lead to societal change, such as revolutions, to establish new economic systems. Marx believed that material conditions and economic interests shape social structures, ideas, and politics, ultimately moving society toward a classless, communist future where resources are shared equally.
