Classical Marxism may be considered the 'Marxism of Marx' [1] or more commonly the Marxism as derived from the works of Marx and Engels.
Marx had set out to develop the scientific underpinnings for socialism. He developed Marxism through the extensive study of philosophers, economists, and socialists. These influences are often characterized as French socialism, German philosophy, and British political economy.
The main works from this era of Marxism are:
- The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels
- Anti-Dühring by Engels
- The German Ideology by Marx
- Das Kapital by Marx
- Wage Labour and Capital by Marx
- Value, Price and Profit by Marx
