Abstract:

This entry gives an overview of the life of Karl Marx and of how his work as an academic and as public intellectual laid some of the foundations for the emergence of anthropology as a discipline. It considers Marx's collaborations with Friedrich Engels and how their individual and joint writings have lasting impact on economic, historical, and political anthropology—for example, in regard to the concepts of fetishism, modes of production, ontology, and original accumulation.
