Karl Marx sought the answers to these questions by trying to understand how our capitalist society works (for whom it works better, for whom worse), how it arose out of feudalism and where it is likely to lead. The main theories that make up this analysis—the theory of alienation, the labor theory of value, and the materialist conception of history—must all be understood with this focus in mind.

Some socialist ideas can be traced as far back as the Bible, but Marxism has its main intellectual origins in German philosophy, English political economy, and French utopian socialism. Marx's study of capitalism was grounded in a philosophy that is both dialectical and materialist. Marx, Karl, Wage Labor and Capital. The Bolsheviks Storm the Winter Palace, 1917.
