‚Workers of the world, Unite!‘
The Communist Manifesto is arguably the world’s most influential political manuscript. Surviving through countless decades of revolution and counter-revolution, Marx and Engels‘ incendiary treatise remains as essential today as it was in 1848: providing a framework for the people’s liberation as they struggle against systems of extreme oppression across the globe.
Urgent and alarmingly well-written, The Communist Manifesto resonates beyond the confines of history and political theory – issuing a call-to-arms in the fight to end crisis-ridden capitalism.

In subsequent years he provided financial support for Marx and edited the second and third volumes of Capital. He is the author of The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845), and co-author, with Karl Marx, of The Communist Manifesto (1848).
