'A groundbreaking work of economic analysis. It is also a literary masterpice' Francis Wheen, GuardianOne of the most notorious and influential works of modern times, Capital is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis. Arguing that capitalism would cause an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. Capital rapidly acquired readership throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx's collaborator Friedrich Engels as 'the Bible of the working class'.Translated by BEN FOWKES with an Introduction by ERNEST MANDEL

Few writers have had a more demonstrable impact on the development of the modern world than has Karl Marx (1818-1883). Born in Trier into a middle-class Jewish family in 1818, by the time of his death in London in 1883, Marx claimed a growing international reputation. Of central importance then and later was his book Das Kapital, or, as it is known to English readers, simply Capital. Volume One of Capital was published in Paris in 1867 and is included in this edition. This was the only volume published during Marx's lifetime and the only to have come directly from his pen. Volume Two, available as a separate Wordsworth eBook, was published in 1884, and was based on notes Marx left, but written by his friend and collaborator, Friedrich Engels (1820-1895). Readers from the nineteenth century to the present have been captivated by the unmistakable power and urgency of this classic of world literature. Marx's critique of the capitalist system is rife with big themes: his theory of 'surplus value', his discussion of the exploitation of the working class, and his forecast of class conflict on a grand scale. Marx wrote with purpose. As he famously put it, 'Philosophers have previously tried to explain the world, our task is to change it.'

The "e;forgotten"e; second volume of Capital, Marx's world-shaking analysis of economics, politics, and history, contains the vital discussion of commodity, the cornerstone to Marx's theories.

Unfinished at the time of Marx's death in 1883 and first published with a preface by Frederick Engels in 1894, the third volume of Das Kapital strove to combine the theories and concepts of the two previous volumes in order to prove conclusively that capitalism is inherently unworkable as a permanent system for society. Here, Marx asserts controversially that - regardless of the efforts of individual capitalists, public authorities or even generous philanthropists - any market economy is inevitably doomed to endure a series of worsening, explosive crises leading finally to complete collapse. But healso offers an inspirational and compelling prediction: that the end of capitalism will culminate, ultimately, in the birth of a far greater form of society.

Written during the winter of 1857-8, the Grundrisse was considered by Marx to be the first scientific elaboration of communist theory. A collection of seven notebooks on capital and money, it both develops the arguments outlined in the Communist Manifesto (1848) and explores the themes and theses that were to dominate his great later work Capital. Here, for the first time, Marx set out his own version of Hegel's dialectics and developed his mature views on labour, surplus value and profit, offering many fresh insights into alienation, automation and the dangers of capitalist society. Yet while the theories in Grundrisse make it a vital precursor to Capital, it also provides invaluable descriptions of Marx's wider-ranging philosophy, making it a unique insight into his beliefs and hopes for the foundation of a communist state.

"Nu da vore læsere har set klassekampen udvikle sig i 1848 og antage kolossale politiske former, er det på tide at gå nærmere ind på selve de økonomiske forhold, der er grundlaget såvel for bourgeoisiets eksistens og klasseherredømme som for arbejdernes slaveri.""Lønarbejde og kapital" består af en lang række af Karl Marx’ ledende artikler i "Neue Rheinische Zeitung", som udkom efter revolutionerne i 1848, samt en række foredrag, som Karl Marx holdt i den tyske arbejderforening i Bruxelles i 1847. Teksterne er udvalgt og forsynet med et forord af Friedrich Engels.Karl Marx (1818-1883) var en tysk filosof, politisk teoretiker og journalist, der er kendt som faderen af kommunismen og marxismen, som han har lagt navn til. Karl Marx beskæftigede sig både med økonomi, filosofi, sociologi og historie. Han er bedst kendt for sit trebindsværk "Das Kapital" (1867) og pamfletten "Det kommunistiske manifest" (1848), som han skrev sammen med den tyske filosof, historiker og journalist Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), der ligeledes havde enorm indflydelse på udviklingen af kommunismen.

"The Communist Manifesto", drafted on the eve of the 1848 revolutions, is a political text of literary interest and historical insight. It is presented here by Eric Hobsbawm who describes the century-and-a-half of history which has been both shaped and illuminated by the "Manifesto".

Marx and Engels's Communist Manifesto has become one of the world’s most influential political tracts since its original 1848 publication. Part of the Rethinking the Western Tradition series, this edition of the Manifesto features an extensive introduction by Jeffrey C. Isaac, and essays by Vladimir Tismaneanu, Steven Lukes, Saskia Sassen, and Stephen Eric Bronner, each well known for their writing on questions central to the Manifesto and the history of Marxism. These essays address the Manifesto's historical background, its impact on the development of twentieth-century Communism, its strengths and weaknesses as a form of ethical critique, and its relevance in the post-1989, post-Cold War world. This edition also includes much ancillary material, including the many Prefaces published in the lifetimes of Marx and Engels, and Engels's "e;Principles of Communism."e;

Written in 1833-4, when Marx was barely twenty-five, this astonishingly rich body of works formed the cornerstone for his later political philosophy. In the Critique of Hegel's Doctrine of the State, he dissects Hegel's thought and develops his own views on civil society, while his Letters reveal a furious intellect struggling to develop the egalitarian theory of state. Equally challenging are his controversial essay On the Jewish Question and the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, where Marx first made clear his views on alienation, the state, democracy and human nature. Brilliantly insightful, Marx's Early Writings reveal a mind on the brink of one of the most revolutionary ideas in human history - the theory of Communism.This translation fully conveys the vigour of the original works. The introduction, by Lucio Colletti, considers the beliefs of the young Marx and explores these writings in the light of the later development of Marxism.

"Et spøgelse går gennem Europa – kommunismens spøgelse. Alle magter i det gamle Europa har sluttet sig sammen til en hellig klapjagt på dette spøgelse, paven og tsaren, Metternich og Guizot, franske radikale og tysk politi."Således begynder et af verdenshistoriens mest betydningsfulde politiske skrifter. ”Det kommunistiske manifest” fremsatte ideer om proletariatets diktatur, en verden, der ikke længere var opdelt i stater eller klasser, og hvor privat ejendomsret var blevet afskaffet til fordel for fælles ejendomsret over produktionsmidlerne. Selvom manifestet i sig selv er temmelig kort, så har dets indflydelse rakt langt ind i det tyvende og enogtyvende århundrede.Karl Marx (1818-1883) var en tysk filosof, politisk teoretiker og journalist, der er kendt som faderen af kommunismen og marxismen, som han har lagt navn til.

In an age of great inequality, its message of an exploited and suffering working class that must rise up and claim the means of production and wealth continues to resonate.
