About the author
Born in Trier in 1818, Karl Marx studied law and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Berlin before turning to journalism, political writing, and social theory. His criticism of governments and economic institutions led to periods of exile in France, Belgium, and Germany.
In 1848, Marx and Friedrich Engels published The Communist Manifesto, a concise and powerful statement of revolutionary socialism. After moving to London in 1849, Marx developed his analysis of capitalism, eventually publishing the first volume of Das Kapital in 1867.
Marx died in London in 1883, but his ideas continued to influence philosophy, economics, politics, history, and social movements around the world. His writings remain central to debates about inequality, labor, power, and the organization of society.
