ABSTRACT
Marx regarded England as a model of the mature workings of that capitalist system which he analyzed, and he would regard present-day America as a supermodel. Nevertheless, it is just in England and America that Marxism never found a home. Marx gave the world as important a gift of scientific knowledge as any man of the modern era; he is one of the giants of science. An engineer wishing to convert a given form of society into a more satisfactory one would begin by making a very rough outline of the kind of society he proposed to build. With that rough blueprint in mind he would examine the existing society, and he would also examine all past societies, and find out what are the forces which control them and the general laws of their change. Marx did not draw up any detailed plan of the future society he proposed to build.
