Match Against KarlAbout Karl Marx
Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, economist, and political theorist who developed the analytical framework known as Marxism. Born in Trier, Prussia, Marx studied law and philosophy before turning to journalism and political writing. He co-authored The Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels in 1848, a foundational text outlining historical materialism and revolutionary communism. Marx spent much of his later life in London, where he conducted extensive research on political economy and wrote Das Kapital (Capital), his major work critiquing capitalist modes of production. His theoretical contributions—including historical materialism, class analysis, and surplus value theory—became central to socialist and communist political movements worldwide. Marx's ideas influenced academic disciplines spanning sociology, history, political science, and philosophy. He lived in relative poverty for much of his life, supported partly by Engels's financial assistance. Marx died in London in 1883.
