Gerald Cohen's analytic approach to his philosopher's theory of history was a reaction against the vagueness of Louis Althusser's interpretation of this man's work. This man sketched out the plan for a multi-volume work and introduced the notion of "surplus value" in his sprawling Grundrisse. He criticized the SDAP political platform, which was based on the ideas of Ferdinand Lassalle, in a letter which states (*) "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." This author of Critique of the Gotha Program proposed that a certain type of system divides society into a base and a superstructure, and wrote that class struggle will lead to a transitional dictatorship of the proletariat. For 10 points, name this German political economist who wrote Das Kapital.
