Mass market paperback. Condición: Fair. First Printing [Stated]. 143, [1] pages. Footnotes. Selected Bibliography. Addenda [various prior Prefaces]. Front cover scuffed. Some page discoloration noted. This is a revised and modernized translation. It is considered by some to be the most definitive/accurate rendering in English and the inclusion of the several Prefaces by Engels helps in one's understanding of its evolution as a seminal political document. The text has been carefully compared with several variant German texts from Marx and Engel's hands, and includes the famous Preface to the edition of 1888 as well as six other important Prefaces written by Engels. Karl Marx (5 May 1818 14 March 1883) was a German-born philosopher, political theorist, economist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820 5 August 1895) was a German philosopher, political theorist, historian, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. He was also a businessman and Karl Marx's closest friend and collaborator, serving as a leading authority on Marxism. Francis B. Randall was a member of the humanities faculty at Sarah Lawrence College from 1961 to 2002, specializing in Russian history. He was born in New York City in 1931 and received his BA from Amherst College in 1952, MA (1954) and Ph.D. (1960) from Columbia University. Prior to his time at Sarah Lawrence, he taught history at Amherst College from 1956 to 1959 and Columbia University from 1959 to 1961. He published many works throughout his career with a particular emphasis on Russian and Soviet history. The Communist Manifesto, originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party, is a political pamphlet written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London in 1848. The text is the first and most systematic attempt by Marx and Engels to codify for wide consumption the historical materialist idea that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles", in which social classes are defined by the relationship of people to the means of production. Published amid the Revolutions of 1848 in Europe, the Manifesto remains one of the world's most influential political documents. Marx and Engels combine philosophical materialism with the Hegelian dialectical method in order to analyze the development of European society through its modes of production, including primitive communism, antiquity, feudalism, and capitalism, noting the emergence of a new, dominant class at each stage. The text outlines the relationship between the means of production, relations of production, forces of production, and the mode of production, and posits that changes in society's economic "base" effect changes in its "superstructure". Marx and Engels assert that capitalism is marked by the exploitation of the proletariat (working class of wage laborers) by the ruling bourgeoisie, which is "constantly revolutionizing the instruments [and] relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society". They argue that capital's need for a flexible labor force dissolves the old relations, and that its global expansion in search of new markets creates "a world after its own image". The Manifesto concludes that capitalism does not offer humanity the possibility of self-realization, instead ensuring that humans are perpetually stunted and alienated. It theorizes that capitalism will bring about its own destruction by polarizing and unifying the proletariat, and predicts that a revolution will lead to the emergence of communism, a classless society in which "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all". Marx and Engels propose the following transitional policies: the abolition of private property in land and inheritance; introduction of a progressive income tax; confiscation of rebels' property; nationalization of credit, communication, and transport; expansion and integration of industry and agriculture; enforcem.…
