The United Kingdom (UK), in full the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is an imperialist and capitalist state in the Northwest of Europe. The United Kingdom has great historical significance as the birthplace of industrial capitalism.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels both spent much of their lives in England studying British capitalism as it grew to a world power of unseen proportions. Marx wrote Capital, Wages, Price and Profit, and other major works while living outside London, where he would remain until his death in 1883.
And did the countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic mills?...
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green & pleasant land.— William Blake, 1804
