Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.

Karl Marx

Karl Marx is the last of the great classical political economists, a school of thinkers who developed a theory of the economy as a social form which organizes production, distribution, exchange and consumption. Marx was interested in the historical development of all kinds of economic systems, but he is best known for his theory of capitalism, and his argument that capitalism sowed “the seeds of its own destruction” (Marx and Engels 1850), and would eventually give way to a new system called socialism.
