  ABSTRACT: At the beginning of 1845, Marx (1818-1883) began his studies that led him to develop and mature his technological thinking, focusing on it in 1851 and maintaining this interest in 1860. In these early studies, Marx used sources and a German bibliography, in particular the writings of J. Beckmann (1739-1811) and J. H. M. von Poppe (1776-1854). In this paper, we will study the main influences that Marx received from the aforementioned authors, from his works published in the first half of the 19th century, and then, also highlight some influences arising from the English thinkers of the Industrial Revolution in England Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Andrew Ure (1778-1857).
