Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Homo faber means man the maker, the human being as one who shapes the world through labour and tools. Karl Marx saw human beings in this way: people distinguish themselves from animals by producing their means of life and, in doing so, transform nature and themselves. Saint-Simon and Sismondi wrote on industry and economics but are not linked with this view of human nature.
