Marx Didn't like the Industrial revolution because Marx felt that the Industrial Revolution allowed the rich to get richer and the poor to get even worse.

The industrial revolution Inspire Marx to invent communism because he though workers should share wealth in a comunist society.

What inspire Marx to be the way he was was
  • Hegel's dialectical method and historical orientation; .
  • The classicalpolitical economy of Adam Smith and David Ricardo.
  • French socialist and sociological thought, in particular the thought of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Henri de Saint Simon and Charles Fourier.
  • Earlier German philosophical materialism, particularly Ludwig Feuerbach.
  • The solidarity with the working class of Friedrich Engles.
