Marxism is the political practice and social theory based on the works of Karl Marx, a nineteenth century philosopher, economist, journalist, and revolutionary along with Friedrich Engels. Marx drew on Hegel's philosophy, the political economy of Adam Smith, Ricardian economics, and 19th century French socialism to develop a critique of society which he claimed was both scientific and revolutionary. This critique achieved its most systematic (if unfinished) expression in his magnum opus, Capital: A Critique of Political Economy (Das Kapital).
