Karl Marx, born 1818, was alive during a time which saw the biggest period of change in Britain in modern times, a time of Industrialisation. In a relatively short space of time, one hundred to two hundred years, Britain had gone from a long standing agrarian society to the first industrial society the world had seen. A historic move from a farming economy to an economy based on factory production had taken place. This undoubtedly had an influence on his theory, which concentrated on the capitalist system Britain had so abruptly moved in to, why it had come about, it's inherent problems and why it would eventually fall to a conflict free society. In this new capitalist period, the more simplified means of production as seen in feudalism, had developed into a “complex industrial state” as stated in Haralambos and Holborn (2008).

Of all the ancient chinese dynasties there is only one that left a lasting impression that built the foundation for modern day China.

Hemp is a crop that can be grown for food and non-food purposes and made into over 25,000 different products.
