The Communist Manifesto (1848) was his most important work. Mark said, "Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, socialism will in its turn replace capitalism and lead to a stateless, classless society which will emerge after a transitional period, the 'dictatorship of the proletariat." The Poverty of Philosophy discusses the distribution of economic wealth. Marx has a plan to produce a more democratic distribution of the wealth.
