According to Karl Marx what drives history?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Marx believed that the mode of production drives history but that other non-economic forces and institutions might have minor influences on the force created by the mode of production but no serious influence on history. In other words, the economic force drives history and everything else simply slows down or speeds up the economic force.

Whats the set up for tuning a ford gt40 for forza 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the 1966 ford gt40 in forza motorsport 2 is really only good for the Nissan speedway and you should first buy all the upgrades. (All of them the most expensive or furthest to the right.) Then increase ur tire pressure to about 35psi. (front and back). the main thing for this car is that you take out the 4th 5th and 6th gears on the gear ratios. then set the final drive to the very edge of the graph on the side.leave the springs and damping alone unless you want to tweak your handling a bit. (you'll have to play around with it). Then change the antiroll (antisway) bars all the way up and the differential all ther way up too.

Your welcome and hope this answered your question.

What would Karl marx theory of captilisam lead to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Karl Marx believed that what he termed surplus value would inevitably lead to economic depressions. This cycle of one depression after another would be instrumental in causing the working class to revolt and end the class struggles of the working people. Marx was certain that what he saw was a better economic system, his own particular brand of socialism, would prevail in nations that were industrialized and had a experienced union workers. The revolution had to be a violent one because he was certain that new economic laws or concessions by capitalists could ever create a fair economic system. The workers he termed the proletariat would create the dictatorship of the proletariat and create a socialist form of government and economy. Eventually after capitalistic ideas and their proponents would be ended and usher in a new communist society.

The Colonialism paved the way for the growth of Big Industries. before colonial period there were only self sufficient villages where people use to produce the goods manually in their homes in accordance with the requirement of their village community. But with the expansion of colonialism all over the world the demand for the goods increased considerably. gradually the production style was completely changed under to meet the greater demand. the people started work collectively and the small scale industries came into existence. But with the growth of science the missionaries were being introduced in the field of production. It was inevitable to meet the greater demand of the goods all across the world. this paved the way for factory system which in turn resulted in the growth of capitalism as middle class people who were capable of invest the capital became the factory owners and accumulated huge capital at the cost of the labor provided by the working class people

What major impact did Karl Marx have on the emergence of the new ideas related to industrial working and living conditions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Industrial Revolution advance capitalism to its final stage, which Marx saw as an ultimate evil. Before the industrial revolution feudalism existed which is a society run by land owners when the aristocracy gives land to the peasants and those landowners scrape and consume the profit the peasants make by taxation and taking of food using the knights as the collectors. Financial capitalism was a growing idea taken from the Greeks and Romans who believed that most individuals had a right to sell things to gain profit and to run businesses. This idea was reintroduced to Europe during the Renaissance, but it was still applied using feudal methods. The American and French revolution helped strengthen capitalism and the end of the great French war made England one of the richest nations in the world. Advances in technology and new inventions brought about the Industrial Revolution. The Idustrial Revolution created factories and housing for the peasants and it created a better market and made intelligent men big business men who exploited hundreds making themselves very wealthy. Because of the system lots of money could be made buying labour to make products that could be sold to other workers. Marx saw this new capitalism as unfair where the intelligent ruled the poor and created a new aristocracy who made workers got to work doing a job that was degrading, unfulfilling and where you were not paid a fair wage to make a living. So he came up with the idea of communism where capitalism is destroyed as is any other type of inequality and where the state and all institution disappear. so the Industrial Revolution not only gave birth to progress, wealth and democracy it also gave birth to communism.

The theories of Karl marx provided basis for what?

Asked by Wiki User

This is a very badly worded question. However I will attempt to answer it. Karl Marx, although by admission he was not, wrote heavily on the merits of communism which is an extreme form of socialism. He broke society down into two primary groups the Proletarians and the Bourgeois. He briefly touched on a third, the 'petty bourgeois' but hardly covered them in the communist manifesto which was one of the texts he is chiefly known for.

He is often regarded as the father of modern communism. He wrote about the workers, or proletarian, revolution in which the working class would absorb the bourgeois, or land/capital owning, class to create a classless society.

Marx's fails to provide any idea of a governmental structure in his writings but does allude to certain ideas that would be supported however these are widely debated so I will not go into them here.

Primarily he is regarded as the creator of modern communism. The best work to read would be 'The manifesto of the communist party' written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
