Karl Marx

Philosopher, Economist, Sociologist (1818–1883)

Karl Marx developed theories about society, economics, and politics, most notably the concepts of class struggle and historical materialism. His work The Communist Manifesto influenced revolutionary movements and modern social theory.

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”

Marx's ideas continue to provoke discussion on inequality, capitalism, and social justice worldwide.
