Karl Marx had a great deal to do with the industrial revolution because he made he thought that the industrial revolution was not a revolution at all because he thought that the workers were not really going any where in life because they just sold their labor to factory owners. He saw the industrial revolution divided into 2 classes the proletariat which were the working class and he thought they were not getting anywhere because of the fact they just worked for whoever paid the most. The next class was called the bourgeoisie and they were the upper class or the ones who owned the factories and sweatshops etc. They were the ones who he stated in the "communist manifesto" should be overthrown by their employers.
He also stated that the economy be divided and every one share the wealth and no matter how hard you worked or how lazy you were you would be paid the same amount.
