Document Summary
Born in prussia and lived in a middle class family. Well educated and aspired to be a journalist (wrote about what he saw in german society in 19th century) Marx saw the weakness in this system and saw a gap between the working class and the upper class. Moves to paris expecting to find like minded people. Seeks out predictable rules for how markets operate. The state is the embodiment of right action. The state is the fullest expression of ethical will. Political world is seperate from the economic world. States function is to serve as a mediator. Through a dialectal a universal good will always prevails. Activities of the state are separate from which citizens interact with society. It"s not related to social characteristics, it is an independent idea and institution. Engel agrees to fund marx while he develops his ideas. Focuses on the role of the individual (their labour) and equitable distribution.
