A rousing call to arms whose influence is still felt today Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels' The Communist Manifesto" is edited with an introduction by Gareth Stedman-Jones in " Penguin Classics". Marx & Engels' revolutionary summons to the working classes " The Communist Manifesto" is one of the most important political theories ever formulated. After four years of collaboration they produced an incisive account of their idea of Communism in which they envisage a society without classes private property or a state arguing that the exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which Capitalism is overthrown. This vision provided the theoretical basis of political systems in Russia China Cuba & Eastern Europe affecting the lives of millions. " The Communist Manifesto" still remains a landmark text: a work that continues to influence & provoke debate on capitalism & class. Gareth Stedman Jones' extensive & scholarly introduction provides an unique assessment of the place of " The Communist Manifesto" in history & its continuing relevance as a depiction of global capitalism. This edition reproduces Samuel Moore's translation of 1888 & contains a guide to further reading notes & an index. Karl Marx (1818-1883) was born in Trier Germany & studied law at Bonn & Berlin. He settled in London where he studied economics & wrote the first volume of his major work " Das Kapital" (1867 with two further volumes in 1884 & 1894). He is buried in Highgate Cemetery London. Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) as well as his collaboration with Marx was the author of " The Condition of the Working Class in England" (1845) based on personal observations & research.
