Abstract

Karl marx (1818 - 83) was responsible for one of the first and most influential theories of class within the sociological discipline. For marx, classes can be seen as basic social groups divided by their specific position within the division of labor, and distributed within society according to criteria such as ownership or non-ownership of the means of production and the need to sell or ability to buy labor. marx also distinguished between a numbers of modes of production that were used to chart the sequence of historical development that resulted from changes in the economic base of society. At the time marx was writing, the emergence of the most recent stage of economic development was becoming apparent, specifically, Capitalism. It is within this stage that a great deal of marx's theories, concepts and arguments are centered.
