Summary

This quote, by German philosopher Karl Marx, is a critique of capitalist society. It argues that in bourgeois society, capital (wealth, property, and resources) is given more value and individuality, while the living person becomes dependent and loses their own individuality. Marx suggests that capitalism leads to inequalities, where money and possessions hold more importance than the development and self-expression of individuals, resulting in a loss of autonomy and unique identity.
