Karl Marx's theory of communism emphasized the exploitation of workers by owners of capital and the promotion of rising inequality as a consequence of the capitalist system. Lenin also subscribed to Marxism, but Marx is the more prominent figure in this regard. Bernard Mandeville and Adam Smith, on the other hand, are associated with the promotion of self-interest and the invisible hand in the market, rather than the criticism of capitalism.
