Working men of all countries, unite! First published in 1848, The
Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential pieces of
writing of all time. Written by two leading German philosophers
whose names are now universally known, The Communist Manifesto is a
documentation of class struggle and the plight of workers under
capitalism, and a call for redress. In it, Marx and Engels lay out
a searing account of the damage wrought by capitalism, and set out
a route towards an alternative: a society without class, private
property or a state. Beating a path for revolution and the
overthrow of capitalism, The Communist Manifesto is a stirring call
to arms that resounds with truth and power today.

First published in 1867, "Capital Volume 1" is now established as
Marx's most important work, and a classic text for students of
politics, philosophy and economics. This unabridged paperback
edition is based on the first translation into English by Samuel
Moore and Edward Aveling, which was edited by Frederick Engels. The
book focuses on capitalist production, and analyses capitalism's
workings through detailed research and observation of what was the
most advanced industrial country of the 19th century.
This Element describes for the first time the database of peer
review reports at PLOS ONE, the largest scientific journal in the
world, to which the authors had unique access. Specifically, this
Element presents the background contexts and histories of peer
review, the data-handling sensitivities of this type of research,
the typical properties of reports in the journal to which the
authors had access, a taxonomy of the reports, and their sentiment
arcs. This unique work thereby yields a compelling and
unprecedented set of insights into the evolving state of peer
review in the twenty-first century, at a crucial political moment
for the transformation of science. It also, though, presents a
study in radicalism and the ways in which PLOS's vision for science
can be said to have effected change in the ultra-conservative
contemporary university. This title is also available as Open
Access on Cambridge Core.
One of the most notorious works of modern times, as well as one of
the most influential, Capital is an incisive critique of private
property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in
England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a
wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and
generate fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would create an
ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its
abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the
means of production. Capital rapidly acquired readership among the
leaders of social democratic parties, particularly in Russia and
Germany, and ultimately throughout the world, to become a work
described by Marx's friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels as
'the Bible of the Working Class'.
Marx's classic of political economics constitutes a work of
tremendous influence. In addition to its critique of private
property, it also offers a thorough analysis of the scientific laws
of capitalism.
