A rousing call to arms whose influence is still felt today Originally published on the eve of the 1848 European revolutions, 
The Communist Manifesto is a condensed and incisive account of the worldview Marx and Engels developed during their hectic intellectual and political collaboration. Formulating the principles of dialectical materialism, they believed that labor creates wealth, hence capitalism is exploitive and antithetical to freedom. 
This new edition includes an extensive introduction by Gareth Stedman Jones, Britain's leading expert on Marx and Marxism, providing a complete course for students of 
The Communist Manifesto, and demonstrating not only the historical importance of the text, but also its place in the world today.
