Marx was wrong about the evolution of western economies. He thought wealth would increasingly concentrate in the hands of a few rich elite, and that workers would increasingly do repetitive tasks. He was wrong on both counts: the rich actually became much poorer and the rich much richer, instead of society devolving into two classes there was the creation of the middle class, and work became increasingly more complex instead of simpler.
