Chapter 1: Historiography : Development in the West

Answer the following in detail. 

Explain Karl Marx’s ‘Class Theory,

 

According to Karl Marx, history is about the human relationships that have formed due to their primary needs, ownership, and the ways through which those needs are fulfilled. The availability to the different class of the society to fulfill these needs is not equally distributed. This created inequality among the people leading to struggle between different classes. Thus, Karl Marx in his book Das Kapital explains about the class that holds power to economically exploit other classes and their struggle.
