Marx's political and philosophical thought had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and the three-volume Das Kapital (1867–1883).
Due to his political publications, Marx became stateless and lived in exile with his wife and children in London for decades, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings, researching in the British Museum Reading Room. Born in Trier, Germany, Marx studied law and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Berlin.
Karl Heinrich Marx ( German: – 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary.
