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.

With an introduction by Dr. Laurence Marlow. A spectre is haunting
Europe (and the world). Not, in the twenty-first century, the
spectre of communism, but the spectre of capitalism. Marx's
prediction that the state would wither away of its own accord has
proved inaccurate, and he did not foresee the tyrannies which have
ruled large parts of the globe in his name. Indeed, he would have
been appalled if he had witnessed them. But his analysis of the
evils and dangers of raw capitalism is as correct now as when it
was written, and some of his suggestions (progressive income tax,
abolition of child labour, free education for all children) are now
accepted with little question. In a world where capitalism is no
longer held in check by fear of a communist alternative, The
Communist Manifesto (with Socialism Utopian and Scientific,
Engels's brief and clear exposition of Marxist thought) is
essential reading. The Condition of the Working Class in England in
1844 is Engels's first, and probably best-known, book. With Henry
Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor, it was and is the
outstanding study of the working class in Victorian England.
DISCOVER THE WORK THAT LAUNCHED REVOLUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD
Although it was published in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is as
controversial and provocative as ever. Its stirring and poetic
language helped spread Marx and Engels' socialist message far and
wide, unleashing a century of political revolution. In an age of
great inequality, the Manifesto's message of an exploited and
suffering working class that must rise up and claim the means of
production and wealth continues to resonate. This deluxe edition
features an insightful introduction from Tom Butler-Bowdon which
explains how the text came to be written, and why it remains
popular.
