Friedrich Engels was a German social theorist, philosopher, journalist, and businessman who collaborated closely with Karl Marx.
Born in 1820, Engels co-authored The Communist Manifesto and contributed to Das Kapital, playing a crucial role in developing Marxist theory.
He applied dialectical materialism to various fields, including economics, history, and philosophy.
Engels' writing style was often more accessible than Marx's, making complex ideas more understandable to a wider audience.
His works, including Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, continue to be influential in socialist and communist thought.
Engels died in 1895, leaving a lasting impact on political and economic theory.
