Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Marx and Engels believed change came from dialectic materialism - 'Dialetic' means a constant fight between two forces, sometimes one dominant, then another; 'materialism' means economics is the most important reason for things happening in society!.
Smith's idea of social change is a little more complex!. You can read more about both here:
