Born in Germany on May 5, 1818, Karl Marx was a socialist,
journalist, historian, economist, and philosopher (1818-1883).
While studying at the University of Berlin, he joined a movement of
radical thinkers known as the Young Hegelians. His journalistic
writings eventually got him expelled from Germany, France, and
Belgium. In 1848, he published The Communist Manifesto with
Friedrich Engels and was exiled to London, where he wrote the first
volume of Das Kapital and lived the rest of his life.
Born in 1820, Friedrich Engels was a German revolutionist,
philosopher, businessman, and journalist who, along with Karl Marx,
co-founded modern socialism.
