With the help of Friedrich Engels, German philosopher and revolutionary Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto (1848) and Das Kapital (1867-1894), works, which explain historical development in terms of the interaction of contradictory economic forces, form many regimes, and profoundly influenced the social sciences.

German social theorist Friedrich Engels collaborated with Karl Marx on The Communist Manifesto in 1848 and on numerous other works.

Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin in London opposed Communism of Karl Marx with his antithetical anarchy.

Works of Jacques Martin Barzun include Darwin, Marx, Wagner (1941).

The Prussian kingdom introduced a prohibition on Jews, practicing law; in response, a man converted to Protestantism and shortly afterward fathered Karl Marx.

Marx began co-operating with Bruno Bauer on editing Philosophy of Religion of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (see Democritus and Epicurus), doctoral thesis, also engaged Marx, who completed it in 1841. People described the controversial essay as "a daring and original piece... in which Marx set out to show that theology must yield to the superior wisdom." Marx decided to submit his thesis not to the particularly conservative professors at the University of Berlin but instead to the more liberal faculty of University of Jena, which for his contributed key theory awarded his Philosophiae Doctor in April 1841. Marx and Bauer, both atheists, in March 1841 began plans for a journal, entitled Archiv des Atheismus (Atheistic Archives), which never came to fruition.

Marx edited the newspaper Vorwärts! in 1844 in Paris. The urging of the Prussian government from France banished and expelled Marx in absentia; he then studied in Brussels. He joined the league in 1847 and published.

Marx participated the failure of 1848 and afterward eventually wound in London. Marx, a foreigner, corresponded for several publications of United States.
He came in three volumes. Marx organized the International and the social democratic party.

Marx in a letter to C. Schmidt once quipped, "All I know is that I am not a Marxist," as Warren Allen Smith related in Who's Who in Hell .

People describe Marx, who most figured among humans. They typically cite Marx with Émile Durkheim and Max Weber, the principal modern architects.

Bertrand Russell later remarked of non-religious Marx, "His belief that there is a cosmic ... called dialectical materialism, which governs ... independently of human volitions, is mere mythology" ( Portraits from Memory , 1956).

Pequenos excertos do Capital de Marx referentes ao Fetichismo da Mercadoria.
A introdução é um bocado “alternativa” pois tem uma abordagem marxista que não reconheço (anarquista talvez) e portanto não gostei muito.
O assunto em si é largamente abordado por Marx nos dois excertos transcritos, mas perde-se no excesso de notas. Bom para dar uma leitura rápida sobre o fetichismo da mercadoria em qualquer lugar.

Un libro indispensable para el análisis social, tanto sobre el crecimiento del capitalismo así como su permanencia hasta nuestros días.

“Esas cosas, el oro y la plata, tal como salen de las entrañas de la tierra, son a la vez la encarnación inmediata de todo trabajo humano. De ahí la magia del dinero.”

Bueno, experiencia curiosa. De vez en cuando alguna pincelada interesante, como cuando habla del reflejo religioso en el capitalismo o cuando alude a la vida inmaterial que vive Robinson Crusoe tras el naufragio. Pero no para y no para con el vocabulario tedioso. Más de la mitad del texto se puede resumir en las diez palabras que utiliza todo el rato: valor, dinero, trabajo, clase, capital, oro, VALOR, mercancía, función o relación social, producto. Y valor otra vez.
Resumidamente, no me ha parecido una lectura ‘enjoyable’.

Não sei como avaliar a minha relação com este livro. Há cerca de 20 anos tentei estudar Marx e já na altura tive especial dificuldade em compreender plenamente esta corrente; esta incursão na leitura destes capítulos, infelizmente, veio comprovar que certas coisas nunca mudam... mas saio daqui com um conhecimento positivo: curiosamente, a parte com a qual me consegui relacionar foi o texto introdutório de Anselm Jeppe, e talvez o venha a juntar às minhas futuras leituras.
