In the 1850s and early 1860s, Marx played an active part in politics, and his prolific journalism from London offered a constant commentary on the main developments of the day. This title examines the texts that have become essential works in Marx's canon.

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".
