karl marx

on page 160, on the third paragraph down the page, karl marx speaks of how he feels that modern industry has established the world market, how how the market had given an immense development to commerce, navigation, and communication by land. i agree with the fact that market and things like that have paved the way for all of our other means of communication, but one thing i do disagree with is the fact that he gives MODERN indusrty all of the credit for this. it was well before modernization, and industry even came about that the only way people could speak to other people, or meet new people was by traveling to sell whatever they had to sell to make the money to feed their family.

i never raelly ralized how much i agree with karl marx. we have been learning about him a lot in sociology class, and it never really appealed to me how accurate his views are until after i started to read this book

karl marx

in the karl marx book that we are reading now, i find it very interesting how marx points out that people do not really feel a need for wood, until the wood is made into something that we may benefit from. his example is making wood into a table... this is a great example because who would want a bunch of logs lying around in their house? nobody would, but i am 100% positive that people have wooden tables all over their house. i completely agree with marx on this one
