Document Summary
Marx"s idea of a communist utopia is gone. The attempt at creating it, which began in. Russia in 1917 before spreading to china and north korea and then cuba, failed. So marx"s idea on how to go about creating a perfect, classless society with a modern industrial economy failed. However, although the idea of a communist utopia failed, marx and. Engels wrote a lot of fantastic economics and sociology, which are still very basic. Even though the attempt to create a perfect utopian society failed, the social science ideas are still very important and we cannot get on without them. It was in the 1830s-40s, and capitalist industrialism had just gotten going. Scotland, the capitalist revolutions had occurred, and there were machines and factories. o. Adam smith, all the way back in 1776, had already written the wealth of nations, and was the first to describe this new capitalist-industrial economy.
