Classics is a new series of essential works. From the musings of
intellectuals such as Thomas Paine in Common Sense to the striking
personal narrative of Harriet Jacobs in Incidents in the Life of a
Slave Girl, this new series is a comprehensive collection of our
intellectual history through the words of the exceptional few.
Originally published as a political pamphlet in 1848, amidst the
revolutions in Europe, The Communist Manifesto documents Karl Marx
and Friedrich Engels's theories on society and politics. It does so
by defining the state of the class system in contemporary Europe in
which a larger, lower class is controlled and oppressed by a
tyrannical, oppressive upper class. The Manifesto argues that, at
some point in history, the lower class will inevitably realize
their potential and exploitation and subsequently revolt. Once this
occurs, Marx and Engels argue, there will be an uprising among
proletariats that shifts political and economic power, ultimately
resulting in the dismantling of class systems and capitalism.
Additionally, in the Manifesto, Marx and Engels also predict the
future state of the global economy and discuss their viewpoints on
private property, while also addressing many other topics pertinent
to today's world. Although written nearly 170 years ago, The
Communist Manifesto is still widely read and cited. Amid the
current turmoil between social classes and the societies of the
world, its revolutionary prose and ideas can still yield ripe food
for thought.
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.

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.

Part of "The Collected Works" series, this book is the first volume
of Karl Marx's famous text on the economies of capitalism,
"Capital". The translation is based on the Moore and Aveling
translation of 1887, but has been revised and supplemented with
extensive notes. Aiming to become the definitive English-language
edition of the "Collected Works" in 50 volumes, the series will
eventually contain all the works of Marx and Engels, whether
published in their lifetimes or since, including their complete
correspondence and newly discovered works. Almost every volume
contains published material published for the first time in
English. The edition is organized into three main groups:
philosophical, historical, political, economic and other works in
chronological order; Marx's "Capital" with his preliminary
versions, and works directly connected with it; and letters of Marx
and Engels.

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.
This is the founding document of communism, the touchstone to
revolution. This book showcases what is not only a pivotal example
of political writing, but also a dramatic piece of literature.
This volume contains the end of Marx's economic manuscripts of
1861-63 which concludes his analysis of the production process of
capital, concentrating on problems of the reproduction and
circulation of the aggregate social capital. The book is part of a
definitive English-language edition, prepared in collabo ration
with the Institute of Marxism-Leninism in Moscow, which contains
all the works of Marx and Engels, whether published in their
lifetimes or since. The series includes their complete
correspondence and newly discovered works.
