Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 6 page report discusses Karl Marx (1818-83) and
one of his most important works, “Das Kapital.” Marx’s
fundamental assertion, in the most simple of terms, was that all
events are determined by economic forces. His analysis of
capitalist economy and his theories of historical materialism,
the class struggle, and the meaning of value evolved as the basis
of modern socialist doctrine. Those ideas are of decisive
importance with respect to revolutionary action, his theories on
the nature of the capitalist state, the road to power, and the
dictatorship of the proletariat. Most of those ideas and ideals
are captured in one of his most famous works “Das Kapital.”

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:

proletariat. Most of those ideas and ideals are captured in one of his most famous works "Das Kapital." Karl Marx Born in Germany in 1818, Karl was part of
a family who had converted from Judaism to Protestantism. At the age of seventeen, he enrolled at the University of Bonn to study law (his father was a lawyer), but
his wild behavior of drinking and dueling led his father to transfer him to a more austere environment at the University of Berlin. While there, Marx made the decision to
focus his studies in philosophy, and he joined a group of radical students and lecturers known as the "Young Hegelians," who made the assertion that religion was only a
human invention that had been created to explain what could not be explained. That period in his life was extremely important in his intellectual and philosophical development (Kershaw 378).
