Autor

Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, and socialist revolutionary. Born in Prussia, he later became stateless and spent much of his life in London. Marx's work in economics laid the basis for much of the current understanding of labor and its relation to capital, and has influenced much of subsequent economic thought. He published numerous books during his lifetime, the most notable being 'The Communist Manifesto' (1848) and 'Das Kapital' (1867–1894). While 'Secret Diplomatic History of The Eighteenth Century' is among his lesser-known works, it showcases Marx's keen analysis of historical events and his critique of political mechanisms in European diplomacy. Marx's writing is characterized by its dialectical and historical materialism—an approach to understanding society and historical development through the tensions arising from material conditions. His contributions to literature and social thought have left an indelible mark on the fields of political science, economics, and philosophy. Marx's ideas on class struggle, economics, and social relations were groundbreaking at his time and continue to influence academic discourse and political ideology around the world.
