According to Karl Marx (1818-1883), stated, "the economics ''base'' of society was the real driving force of change." The welfare of a society depends on their economic situations. Whatever happens to the economy either depressions, inflation, deflation or economic booming affects the societies.
The author, Marx Karl, states the quote because of the way that the Capitalist were treating the Proletariat in Germany during Nineteen Century. Though the reality of the quote did not manifest until after World War II when the German lost the war and was made to sign the Treaty of Versailles. the country went into inflation which affect everybody including the Capitalist and the Proletarians.
I agree with the author because it relates to what is going on in contemporary America, during the depression which starter during the war between American and the Afghanistan, affects all the Americans. People loose their jobs, home, property, money etc. Everybody is trying to survive and hopefully with time things would change for better.
I agree with your comparisons with what happened in Germany with what has happened in the USA recently, its a good example on how war effects economics which then effect the people of the countries at war.
ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler and the Nazi never realized the importance of the masses as a driving force.
