Max Beer'in yazdığı bu kitapla Karl Marx'ın yaşamı, kitapları ve fikirleri hakkında genel bir bilgi sahibi olabilirsiniz.

Karl Marx, fikirlerini şu iki ilkeye bağlayarak yavaş yavaş teorilerini oluşturmaya başlamıştır:
1.A=A ilkesi
2.Çelişmemezlik ilkesi

Karl Marx, Hegel'in felsefesinden ve Yunan filozoflarından fazlasıyla etkilenmiştir. Başlarda Hegel'in çalışmalarını okumuş ve Sosyalizme ilgi duymuştur fakat sosyalizmi bir ütopya olarak görmüştür. Hegel'den esinlenerek şu teoriyi oluşturmuştur:
Tez=Özel Mülkiyet
Antitez=Kapitalizm
Sentez=Ortak Mülkiyet

En bilinen eseri "Das Kapital" olup üç cilttir. Fakat sadece 1.cildi Marx yazmıştır, diğer iki cildi birlikte çalışmalar yaptığı Engels onun ölümünden sonra müsvetteleri toparlayıp yazmış ve yayınlamıştır.

A brief survey of Marx's thought by a second-generation Marxist, this is a solid short intro still usable. As with all old books (the first edition was published in 1925), this one's charm is partly as a historical document itself. Beer is a Marx enthusiast, but his contemporary politics is not up front in the text. Written before his Moscow year and KPD membership, his attitude towards the Bolsheviks and Spartacists is ambivalent here--which also makes this a welcome exception from the Moscow-approved biographies.

Major Takeaways
Human nature is defined by class/context. We must remake human nature
Religion/thoughts/theories reflect the historical social state of man, which is most influenced by class relations
Economics and form of production is the basis of society, forms progression of class thoughts

Overall a really thought-provoking book with eloquent writing and thorough historical context.

Felsefi yönü biraz ağır sayılır. İdealizmin hazin sonu, yine el yazmalarının hepsini yakmak olmuş. Kurtulabilenlerden bir parça: “El ve beyin işçileri olarak ya da hammaddenin nakliyatında görev alarak üretim sürecine katılmayan tüm toplumsal kesimler asalakça bir yaşam sürdürmekte ve kapitalist sınıf tarafından proletaryadan sızdırılan, bedeli ödenmeden el konan artı değeri tüketmektedir.”
