Marxism, developed by Karl Marx, critically examines the capitalist system and its socio-economic impacts. It addresses the Industrial Revolution's role in shaping class dynamics, the conflict between the bourgeoisie and proletariat, and the potential for a classless society. Marx's influence extends to education, family studies, and criminology, contrasting with Weber's and Durkheim's sociological theories.
