THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

Foreword by Paul M. Sweezy

The Communist Manifesto After 150 Years
by Ellen Meiksins Wood

First published in London in 1848, the Communist Manifesto is one of the most important books of all time: a document which helped to define the emerging socialist movement, altered the course of world history, and is universally acknowledged to be a cornerstone of modern social thought.

This definitive edition of the Communist Manifesto includes:

• A Foreword by marxist scholar Paul M. Sweezy, editor of Monthly Review;
• The full text of the Communist Manifesto in a distinctive and pleasing hand-set typeface;
• The important catechism Principles of Communism, drafted by Engels in 1847 as a basis for the Manifesto;
• The Communist Manifesto After 150 Years, a far-reaching interpretive essay by Ellen Meiksins Wood, editor of Monthly Review.

The result is to illuminate both the historical setting of the Communist Manifesto and the contemporary relevance of its ideas.
