About the Author

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German political philosopher, writer, and revolutionary.  With Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), he wrote The Communist Manifesto (1848), perhaps the most influential political tract since The Declaration of Independence.  Living in England, he composed his masterpiece, Das Kapital (1867-94), a comprehensive history and critique of capitalism.
