Karl Marx's Das Kapital (1867) and The Communist Manifesto (1848, with Engels) became the ideological foundation for communist and socialist movements that governed over a third of humanity during the 20th century. Marx's analysis of capitalism, labour, and class conflict fundamentally altered how humans think about economics, politics, and history β even among those who reject his conclusions, his analytical framework remains indispensable.
