The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, first published shortly before the French Revolution of 1848, is his most accessible and well-known work. In his powerful call to action, Marx explains his famous theory that class struggle is the true determining factor of historical change. This volume includes his essay Wages, Prices and Profit, written in 1865, which serves as an accessible introduction to the ideas that Marx further developed in his masterpiece Capital, a comprehensive analysis of how the world was irrevocably changed by the industrial revolution. This edition of the Macmillan Collector's Library contains the most significant excerpts from his great work, selected and introduced by Hugh Griffith. While old Marxism is now dead and buried, the conflicts within capitalism today are as sharp as ever, and Marx's brilliant, meticulous writings remain incredibly relevant. Designed to appeal to book lovers.
