One of my favorite authors is Karl Marx he was a German philosopher, revolutionist, sociologist, historian, and economist who has made great changes in the world with the books he has written. One of my favorite is “The Communist Manifesto” which was written at a time of industrial and social change, where the economic growth was dependent on its workforce yet majority of the workers lived in poverty while their employers lived in wealth.  In his book he describes the class struggles and how the exploitation of one class to another would lead unavoidably to the overthrow of the ruling class by the working classes.

There is a very good quote that was in the book "In proportion therefore, as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the wage decreases." My interpretation of this is, as labor conditions become less favorable in relation to wage, the Proletariat "workers" will find their work unacceptable and incite a revolution. 

I believe Karl Marx made a difference in the world because his books help understand more about the injustice and inequality of the systems. He understood industrial capitalism was good but the cost of it was much bigger. I feel like people around the world are more aware of these injustices and are taking action just like he said.
