About the author
Born in Trier, Prussia, in 1818, Karl Marx studied law and philosophy before turning toward journalism, political theory, and economics. His writing soon brought him into conflict with authorities, and much of his adult life was marked by exile, political controversy, and financial hardship.
Marx is best known for his long collaboration with Friedrich Engels. Together they wrote The Communist Manifesto in 1848, and Marx later published the first volume of Das Kapital in 1867. Across these works, he explored class struggle, the development of modern capitalism, and the conditions of workers in industrial society.
He spent his later years in London, continuing to write and study while remaining active in revolutionary politics. Marx died in 1883, but his ideas lived on far beyond his lifetime, shaping economics, philosophy, history, and political movements across the world.
