This article examines the historiographic debate brought about by the publishing of the work Karl Marx. Greatness and Illusion by Gareth Stedman Jones in the Anglo-Saxon world. The article reviews the influence of Karl Marx over history of humankind, the suitability of Stedman Jones as a Marx’s biographer, and the impact of the work both in the media and in the academic world. The conclusion of the debate is that Karl Marx is considered to be the father of social and economic history.
