A smart guy, this Marx. I will give it a read. I've read the Manifesto, but not this.

It's interesting how the distribution of capital works. What are the most dependent variables in the equation of distribution of wealth? Technology? The distribution of political power? Human nature? Climate? Social mobility? Cultural homogeneity or diversity?

It seems to me that there may be more than one road to any place. I look at China, and I am amazed how a centrally planned government can whip up a technological and economic superpower without political reform.
