Karl Heinrich Marx (1818–1883) was a German thinker, the founder of Marxism and a mentor of the proletarian revolution. Born in Trier, Germany, in 1818, he received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Jena in 1841. He later co-authored The German Ideology and The Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels, and published the first volume of Capital in 1867. He died in London in 1883. His works are commonly classified in the Chinese book market under finance, management and politics. The library holds five of his titles, including Capital, Capital (Value Platinum Edition), Illustrated Capital and the series Guided Reading of Marxist Classics, most of which center on political economy and have had a profound influence.
