Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. This edition contains the most salient extracts from Marx's great work, selected and introduced by Hugh Griffith.

Karl Marxs Communist Manifesto, first printed just before the French revolution of 1848, is his most accessible and famous work. In his powerful call to arms, Marx expounds his famous theory that class struggle is the real determinant of historical change.

Next in this volume comes his treatise, Wages, Price and Profit, written in 1865, which serves as an accessible introduction to the ideas which Marx went on to develop in Capital, his masterful, multi-volume analysis of how the world was irreversibly changed by the industrial revolution.

Whilst old-style Marxism is now dead and buried, today's conflicts within capitalism are as sharp as ever and Marxs brilliant, painstaking writings remain incredibly relevant.

About Karl Marx

Karl Marx was born in the German city of Trier in 1818. He studied law in Bonn and Berlin at his fathers insistence but his true interests lay elsewhere and in 1841 he received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Jena. For the next two years he wrote for radical left-wing newspapers before moving to Paris with his wife Jenny; there he became a communist and met his lifelong friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels. They published their revolutionary pamphlet The Communist Manifesto in 1848 and Marx moved to London a year later. He spent the rest of his life there - often in considerable poverty - while he wrote his magnum opus of political theory Das Kapital. Karl Marx died in 1883.
