Describe the origins and aims of labor movement and socialist politics (Karl Marx) in the nineteenth century. Describe the lives of upper, middle and working class women in English speaking countries between 1850 -1914.

Marx and Engel's describe the capitalist society as a society of revolutionary upheaval of traditional relationships, at its core, the production area, as a society of “exploitation "and" alienation ".

In his early writings, including in the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844) emphasizes Marx aspect of alienation. The workers of the product of their labour would be alienated because of this, appropriated by the capitalists to assume the form of capital that controlling the workers. Substantial potential and opportunities for development of the human "species-being", that is the human creative possibilities, would so "perverted" and through a subtle form of slavery replaced, even if these apparent on one, but only legitimate freedom rests. Work under capitalism is not a way of self-realization but enforced by the state labour wage workers (Clawson, pp.74).

Marxist Theories

The fundamental concept of Marxist theory is on the layer of coupon-clippers unique to parasitic imperialism has been reduced rather than extended following the structural transformations mentioned above. The giant trusts backing their investments more by self-supporting than by issuing transferable shares.

General observations of the capitalist economy, especially in the context of the U.S. economy, show that income and wealth distribution is very uneven, and there is a large gap between rich and poor. Despite government intervention, the gap between them is improved. Class struggle sometimes causes replacement of capitalism by a socialist model of society.
