Considered one of the most important philosophers of his time, his economic analysis for the wealth of workers were read everywhere. His best known book, Capital: Critique of Political Economy (Das Kapital), criticizing the current economical system, would become a bible for communists around the world. Besides some positive changes in thinking, a lot of misery was committed in his name, taking the idea of socialism to a new level.
