We have summarized the essential of this book by the author. Marx affirmed that the creative capacities of man are repressed by societies divided into social classes, including especially capitalism, where basic issues such as hunger are not the product of natural factors but imposed by other men. In his economic-philosophical manuscripts of 1844, Marx posits the dehumanization of man as a consequence of alienation.
This begins with the separation of men with respect to their means of production and subsistence. In feudalism, the feudal lord gave protection to the serf in his fiefdom, in exchange for unpaid work. Capitalism "expels" the serfs and separates them from their means of production (land, farming tools, etc.), forcing them to sell their labor power to survive.
