Karl Marx

The political tract in which Marx presented the core of his philosophy and revolutionary program, with an introduction analyzing its significance to the realities of today and to Marx's own times.

The Communist Manifesto was first, published on February 21, 1848, and it is one of the world's most influential political tracts. Commissioned by the Communist League and written by communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it laid out the League's purposes and program. The Manifesto suggested a course of action for a proletarian (working class) revolution to overthrow the ruling class of bourgeoisie and to eventually, bring about a classless...

It can be said of very few books that the world was changed as a result of its publication - but this is certainly the case of Capital: A Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx (1818-1883). Volume 1 appeared (in German) in 1867, and the two subsequent volumes appeared at later dates after the author's death - completed from extensive notes left by Marx himself. Marx, famously writing in the Reading Room of the British Museum, set out to draw...

Originally written as a series of newspaper articles in 1847, Wage-Labor and Capital were intended to give an overview of Marx's central theories regarding the economic relationships between workers and capitalists. These theories outlined include the Marxian form of the Labour Theory of Value, which distinguishes "labor" from "labor-power", and the Theory of Concentration of Capital, which states that capitalism tends towards the creation of monopolies...

Marx's Critique of the Gotha Program is a revelation. It offers the fullest elaboration of his vision for a communist future, free from the shackles of capital, but also the state. Neglected by the statist versions of socialism, whether Social Democratic or Stalinist that left a wreckage of coercion and disillusionment in their wake, this new annotated translation of Marx's Critique makes clear for the first time the full emancipatory scope of Marx's...

Perhaps one of the most consequential works of all time, "Capital" is the German treatise on political economy by Karl Marx that critically analyzes capitalism. First published in 1867 as the beginning of an ambitious but unfinished six-volume series, Marx would only see the first volume published in his lifetime with two more published posthumously by Friedrich Engels, this work extensively attempts to expose and explain the capitalist mode of production...

Ao longo dos seus 65 anos de vida, foram poucos aqueles em que Karl Marx não produziu textos para jornais, revistas ou enciclopédias. Mesmo nas décadas de 1850 e 1860, anos essenciais na pesquisa e produção de "O capital", sua obra principal, as necessidades de sobrevivência ou de ação política encaminharam Marx à produção jornalística. O objetivo deste livro é dar uma amostra do jornalista Karl Marx. É uma outra forma de se aproximar...

Die Internationale Arbeiter-Assoziation (IAA, oft auch als »Erste Internationale« bezeichnet) symbolisiert den Aufstieg der organisierten weltweiten ArbeiterInnenbewegung. 1864 verabschiedete der Gründungskongress in London die von Karl MARX in Englisch formulierte Inauguraladresse als programmatische Erklärung. Trotz ihrer politischen Bedeutung lag der deutschsprachigen Arbeiterklasse lange Zeit nur eine sprachlich »sonderbare« Übersetzung...

Karl Marx's History of Economic Theories from the Physiocrats to Adam Smith is Part I of the legendary but previously untranslated Volume IV of Marx's Capital. Although it was written some ninety years ago, it remained unpublished until the first German edition appeared in 1904. Originally, Marx had intended to prepare the first three volumes for publication, then, from the remaining mass of manuscript, to extract a final volume constituting a history...
