Karl Marx

Engage with the foundational works of Karl Marx (1818–1883), the German philosopher, economist, and revolutionary thinker whose ideas have shaped the modern world more profoundly than almost any other thinker. Co-authored with Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto remains one of the most widely read political documents in history, while the monumental Das Kapital offers a sweeping critique of capitalism and its contradictions. Whether approached as history, philosophy, economics, or political theory, Marx's writings are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the forces that have shaped the modern world.
