E. H. Carr, "Karl Marx: His Life and the Formation of His Thought" - Recommended biography with excellent analysis of "Why Marxism Attracted People".

Recommended Marx-Engels Biography

Jonathan Sperber, "Marx: The Life of a Nineteenth-Century Man" - A neutral and balanced recommended biography of the human Marx!

This book is a very useful biography of Marx as a historical figure.

Books on Marx tend to be heavily infiltrated with the author's own principles, but in this book, the author, as a historian, tries to distance himself as much as possible from such stereotypical research.

It was very interesting to learn how Marx went through the process of "Capitalism".

My impression is that this biography was the easiest to read if you want to learn about Marx's life.

Historian E. H. Carr's Views on Marxism - Why Marxism Attracts People

In this biography, E. H. Carr will point out the problems in Marx's "Capitalism. He then discusses such contradictions as the famous "surplus value theory" and the "value of labor," and analyzes why Marx is believed by so many despite these problems.

It may be said that E. H. Carr, as a historian, takes a step back in his approach, not only in terms of economics, ideology, and ideology, but also in terms of his relationship with the world as a whole.

Is Marx a religious phenomenon?

Why I, a non-Marxist, study Marx - Marx as a religious phenomenon.

Marx criticized religion.

As one religious person, what do I say to Marx's criticism of religion?

This is a big challenge for me.

I am not a Marxist.

However, Marx had the magical power to move people all over the world. I think that is a fact. So what is the source of this magical power? Why did Marx's thought attract so many people? Who was Marx in the first place, and under what kind of historical background did he live? I believe that learning these things is a great clue to learning more about religion, or even about human beings themselves.
