Bøger i Marx's Political Writings serien

Marx and Engels had sketched out the principles of scientific communism by 1846. Yet it was from his intense involvement in the abortive German Revolution of 1848 that Marx developed a depth of practical understanding he would draw on in Capital and throughout his later career. This work includes his great call to arms - "The Communist Manifesto".

Features the articles that include an analysis of the tragic but inspiring failure of the Paris Commune, as well as essays on German unification, the Irish question, the Polish national movement and the possibility of revolution in Russia. This title sheds light on the evolution of Marx's notions of democracy and politics.
