Alienation means that it is a condition of workers in a capitalist economy, resulting from a lack of identity with the products of their labor and a feeling of being controlled or exploited. Karl Marx's theory of alienation was based on his knowledge that some of the jobs offered treated workers unfairly and almost the same as slaves. These workers had no rights or were on the market. In his theory, Marx believed that workers were just tools because they had no control over anything. Marx recognized that these workers worked in a capitalist economy and that this had a significant effect on these workers. They didn't get any credit for the products they made. These people create lots of different things, but the company decides what to do with them. For example, a toy maker makes toys for a living, but he does not decide how to design the toy. The company decides how the toy will be used and designed, so the toy maker must always follow orders. Marx disagrees with all of this because ultimately it is the company that takes all the responsibility....
