    Marx’s Theory on the Fall of Capitalism

    Why did Karl Marx believe that capitalism would eventually collapse and be replaced by communism? To what extent were his predictions confirmed by the history of the twentieth century? Karl Marx is regarded by many as the first social scientist ever. Although it is argued that Adam Smith was the first great economist, and David Ricardo the first great modern economist, Marx is undoubtedly the economist that has had the biggest impact on economic history.

    Nietzsche's writings have been interpreted very differently by different people, and cases even exist of Nietzsche being used on both sides of an argument to support contradictory views. For instance, Nietzsche was popular among left-wing Germans in the 1890s, but a few decades later, during the First World War, many regarded him as one of the sources of right-wing German militarism. Another example is around the time of the Dreyfus Affair. The French anti-semitic Right
