and revolutionary socialist. He was born in Trier to a middle-class family, Marx studied law and
Hegelian philosophy. Due to his political publications,Marx became stateless and lived in exile in
London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker
Friedrich Engels and publish his writings, researching in the reading room of the British
Museum. His best known titles are the 1848 pamphlet, The Communist Manifesto, and the
three- volume Das Kapital. His political and philosophical thought had enormous influence on
subsequent intellectual, economic and political history and his name has been used as an
adjective, a noun and a school of social theory.
Marx has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history, and his work
has been both lauded and criticized. His work in economics laid the basis for much of the
current understanding of labour and it's relation to capital, and subsequent economic thought.
Many intellectuals, labour unions, artist and political parties worldwide have been influenced
by Marx's work, with many modifying or adapting his ideas. Marx is typically cited as one of the
principal architects of modern social science.
