The German Ideology is a philosophical work by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, written in 1845 and 1846. In it, the authors expound their materialist conception of history and criticize German idealist philosophy. The book addresses topics such as production, the division of labor, property, the State, and social consciousness. This edition includes selections from parts 2 and 3, along with Marx's "Introduction to a critique of political economy".
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, social and political theorist, and revolutionary socialist. He developed the theory of historical materialism, analysing societal structure and change, particularly class struggle under capitalism, and predicting the system's ultimate replacement by communism. Marx co-authored The Communist Manifesto (1848) with Friedrich Engels, and undertook a critique of classical political economy in his magnum opus, Das Kapital (1867–1894). His ideas and their later development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence on intellectual, political, and social history, and have inspired revolutionary movements in many countries.
