Karl Marx saw class conflict as the main source of social change. He believed that society was divided into two classes, the bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (workers), and that the struggle between these classes would eventually lead to a revolution that would result in a new social order. Marx emphasized the importance of economic factors and believed that social inequalities were a result of the unequal distribution of wealth and resources.
