Karl Marx examined society in terms of the history of class struggles. He believed that the history of society was shaped by class struggle between the bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (working class). Marx developed the concept of historical materialism, which explains how the material conditions of society (such as the economy and technology) shape social relations and influence the development of society over time.
