The Communist Manifesto

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The definitive introduction to history's most influential and controversial political document, updated for a new generation of readers.

Since it was first written in 1848, The Communist Manifesto has been translated into more languages than any other modern text. All across the world—in countless places and idioms—it has been debated, shared, brandished, invoked, banned, burned, and even declared 'dead'. But in an era of escalating political, economic, health, and environmental crises, Marx and Engels' fierce indictment of capitalism is more relevant than ever, and their Manifesto remains required reading from the classroom to the picket line.

Scholar Phil Gasper draws on his decades of teaching and organising experience to produce a beautifully organised edition of the Manifesto that brings the text to life. By fully annotating the Manifesto with clear historical references and explication, a glossary, and including additional related texts, Gasper provides an accessible and comprehensive reference edition suited to first-time readers and dedicated partisans alike.

About the Author

Phil Gasper is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Notre Dame de Namur University and co-editor of the independent socialist journal New Politics. He is a member of the Tempest Collective and currently lives and works in Madison, Wisconsin.

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was the author of Capital, among many other philosophical, political, and journalistic writings, and was a co-founder of the International Workingmen's association in 1864. He remains one of the most influential political thinkers in the world.

Frederick Engels (1820-1895) was Karl Marx's closest and most well known collaborator and financial supporter, as well as the author of The Condition of the Working Class in England and other writings. After Marx's death, he prepared the unfinished volumes of Capital for publication.
