2807 Karl Marx

2807 Karl Marx was a German philosopher and economist who lived from 1818 to 1883. He is famous for his ideas about politics, economics, and society. Karl Marx argued that society was divided into classes of people: the wealthy people (capitalists) who owned the means of production, and the poorer people (workers) who did all the work. He argued that workers should get a larger share of profits from their work, and that if this didn't happen then there would be inequality and social injustice. Karl Marx wrote many books and essays about his ideas and theories, which led to the development of Marxism, a worldview and political system based on his theories.
