Synopsis "The Communist Manifesto & Selected Writings (Macmillan Collector's Library) "

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, first printed just before the French revolution of 1848, is his most accessible and famous work. In his powerful call to arms, Marx expounds his famous theory that class struggle is the real determinant of historical change. Next in this volume comes his treatise, Wages, Price and Profit, written in 1865, which serves as an accessible introduction to the ideas which Marx went on to develop in Capital, his masterful, multi volume analysis of how the world was irreversibly changed by the industrial revolution. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition contains the most salient extracts from his great work, selected and introduced by Hugh Griffith. Whilst old-style Marxism is now dead and buried, today's conflicts within capitalism are as sharp as ever and Marx's brilliant, painstaking writings remain disturbingly relevant.

(Trier, Germany, 1818 - London, United Kingdom, 1883) Karl Marx, a perceptive analyst of social and economic evolution, and advocate for the emancipatory transformation of the State and society, is undoubtedly the most influential thinker of the contemporary world. His ideas quickly gained acceptance in the socialist movement and his writings became essential reading for any ideological tendency. Philosopher, sociologist, historian, economist, and revolutionary activist, his extensive work has reached the status of universal reference.
