Karl Marx’s theory of historical materialism posits that material conditions and economic factors are the primary influences on the development of society and its institutions. According to Marx, the mode of production (the economic base) shapes the superstructure, which includes culture, politics, and ideology. Historical change occurs through class struggle, where the conflict between different classes (e.g., bourgeoisie and proletariat) leads to the development of new economic systems, such as the transition from feudalism to capitalism and, ultimately, to socialism.
