He studied law and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, developing a keen interest in Hegelian philosophy. In 1841, Marx earned his doctorate from the University of Jena.In 1843, Marx moved to Paris, where he became involved in radical political circles and met Friedrich Engels, who would become his lifelong collaborator.

Marx's critical analysis of capitalism culminated in his seminal work, "Das Kapital," published in 1867.Marx spent his later years in London, continuing his writing and political activism despite enduring financial hardship and health issues.
