Publisher Description
Widely debated since its publication in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is one of the world’s most influential political manuscripts. Presenting an analytical approach to the problems of capitalism and the resulting class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the text lays out the rationale and goals of communism as conceived by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This edition of The Communist Manifesto is based on the English edition of 1888. In addition, this collection includes the following essays and writings by Marx, translated by H. J. Stenning: “A Criticism of the Hegelian Philosophy of Right,” “On the King of Prussia and Social Reform,” “Moralizing Criticism and Critical Morality: A Polemic Against Karl Heinzen,” “Proudhon,” “French Materialism,” and “The English Revolution.”

“Well-written and interesting. A snapshot from a century ago, that still describes a lot of the problems we face today. I don’t agree with Marxism on every point, but Marx makes some fascinating observations and strong arguments in this somewhat-infamous piece. It should be required reading, if only to offer a better understanding of a much-demonized philosophical and political group.”
