The great Karl Marx

Today I’m going to talk about Karl Marx a person who made a big contribution to the sociology, philosophy and economy. He changed the way of thinking and doing social science at his time, with his eternal partner Friederich Engels.

He was born in 1818 in Prussia, and died in 1883. Son of a Jewish family, he was the third of seven brothers. At the beginning he study Laws in the University of Bonn but he left that career for study Philosophy in Berlin, after of that he go to Paris and there he meet Friederich Engels, it this time he wrote his first manuscript about his theory like the Communist Manifest.

He isn’t just wrote about the revolutionary theory, he participate in the foundation of the First International of Communists, he live and work for the working-class.

I chose Karl Marx because his theories have a lot of interesting things.  I read some parts of his master book “The Capital” and with his social theory he explains a lot of the phenomenon of the economy. He is a great intellectual and nobody can give to us a better theory.
