This paper intends to undertake an analysis of Marx’s critique of capitalism in the particular light of his theory of alienation. Marx’s theory of alienation provides an overview of the manner in which the labours or the working-class individuals have been separated or alienated from the means of production over the years. An important aspect of Marx’s critique of capitalism becomes apparent in his line “Religion occurs only in the realm of the consciousness, but economy alienation is that of real life; it transcendences therefore covers both aspects”.
