Introduction
Karl Marx's (1818-83) fundamental assertion, in the most simple of terms,was that economic forces determine all events. Marx was always well aware that it was not the working class but the middle class that drove history along its ever-progressing path. Social historians and political scientists have researched all levels of society to find "class consciousness," but it was the entrepreneurial-merchant class that actually carried out the historical task of liberation, modernization, and self-actualization.
