Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx is a German philosopher who lived during the Industrial Revolution. Marx is a communist and all of his writings caused him to be expelled from different countries, which includes Belgium and France. His reaction to the Industrial Revolution was serious because of the political economy and polution from the factories. The negative effect during that time was Child Labor. It was because they had to work for 16 hours, they were only allowed one break a day, and they weren't able to go to school. With the help of Friedrich Engels, he published the first volume of Capital. This talks about his view of capitalism and his opinions of that and his own work. Marx stated in an essay that he wrote in 1875 that dictatorship would work better. After Karl Marx' death in 1883, Friedrich Engels used Marx' work and published volumes 2 and 3 of Capital. The polution from the factories were bad that this led to the beginning of Imperialism, because the goods had to be made with natural resources.
