Conrad Schmidt (economist)
Conrad Schmidt (25 November 1863 – 14 October 1932) was German economist, philosopher and journalist of the Social Democratic Party. Biography Konrad Schmidt was born in to the family active in the SPD. He was the older brother of the painter Käthe Kollwitz. In the mid-1880s he studied in Berlin and in 1887 he defended his doctoral dissertation in Leipzig on "Natural Wages", in which he compared the theories of wages and exploitation of Johann Karl Rodbertus and Karl Marx. Schmidt dismissed Marx's theory as an unproven hypothesis in favor of Rodbertus' theory, which was based on the recognition of natural rights. However, after a closer examination of Marx's writings, Schmidt revised his sentence and became an adherent of Marxism. Schmidt dealt with the transformation problem that Friedrich Engels described in 1885 in the preface to the second volume of Das Kapital. Schmidt proposed his solution to Engels and, with the support of Engels and Karl Kautsky, in 1889 publishe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Social Democratic Party Of Germany Politicians
Social organisms, including human(s), live collectively in interacting populations. This interaction is considered social whether they are aware of it or not, and whether the exchange is voluntary or not. Etymology The word "social" derives from the Latin word ''socii'' ("allies"). It is particularly derived from the Italian '' Socii'' states, historical allies of the Roman Republic (although they rebelled against Rome in the Social War of 91–87 BC). Social theorists In the view of Karl MarxMorrison, Ken. ''Marx, Durkheim, Weber. Formations of modern social thought'', human beings are intrinsically, necessarily and by definition social beings who, beyond being "gregarious creatures", cannot survive and meet their needs other than through social co-operation and association. Their social characteristics are therefore to a large extent an objectively given fact, stamped on them from birth and affirmed by socialization processes; and, according to Marx, in producing and reproduc ...

The Friedrichsfelde Central Cemetery (german: Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde) is a cemetery in the borough of Lichtenberg in Berlin. It was the cemetery used for many of Berlin's Socialists, Communists, and anti-fascist fighters. History When the cemetery was founded in 1881 it was called the Friedrichsfelde Municipal Cemetery Berlin (german: Berliner Gemeindefriedhof Friedrichsfelde). In 1900, with the burial of Wilhelm Liebknecht, founder of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the cemetery became the resting place for many of the leaders and activists of Germany's social democratic, socialist and communist movements. In 1919, Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, co-founders of the Communist Party of Germany were buried there. A 2009 Charité autopsy report however cast doubt on whether Rosa Luxemberg was ever buried there. The division of Berlin following the Second World War caused the cemetery to be within the borders of East Berlin, where it was used to bury East Germa ...
