Description

A powerful call to action that still resonates today.

Originally published on the eve of the 1848 European revolutions, The Communist Manifesto is a concise and insightful account of the beliefs developed by Marx and Engels during their intense intellectual and political collaboration. They believed in the principles of dialectical materialism, which assert that labor is the source of wealth and that capitalism is exploitative and contrary to freedom.

This new edition includes a comprehensive introduction by Gareth Stedman Jones, a renowned expert on Marx and Marxism in Britain. It offers a complete study guide for students of The Communist Manifesto and highlights not only the historical significance of the text, but also its relevance in today's world.
