In his brilliant book "Karl Marx or the Thought of the World: A Biography" (published by Ruya for Publishing and Distribution), the prominent French economist and thinker Jacques Attali presents an exceptional and fresh reading of the life of the German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. Attali transcends ideological frameworks to depict Marx as a "free thinker" and an economist ahead of his time, viewing him as the first to formulate a holistic framework explaining globalization and border-transcending capitalism. The book weaves Marx's personal and human details—from his struggles with poverty, illness, and exile, to his historical friendship with Friedrich Engels and moments of philosophical creativity. Through an eloquent literary style combining economic historical precision with narrative grace, Attali delivers an engaging intellectual document re-reading Marx not as an ideology-maker, but as a critical mind illuminating world transformations and a living testament to humanity's struggle for freedom and justice.

Because it offers readers a comprehensive human and intellectual biography of Marx away from ideological bias, crafted by a world-class economist and thinker like Jacques Attali.

For biography, philosophy, and political economy enthusiasts, modern history lovers, and anyone seeking an objective critical reading rediscovering Marx's ideas and his relation to the contemporary world.
