Description
Karl Marx was not only the great theorist of capitalism, he was also a superb journalist, politician and historian.
In these brand-new editions of Marx's Political Writings we are able to see the depth and range of his mature work from 1848 through to the end of his life, from The Communist Manifesto to The Class Struggles in France and The Critique of the Gotha Programme.
Each book has a new introduction from a major contemporary thinker, to shed new light on these vital texts.
Volume 3: The First International and After: The crucial texts of Marx's later years-notably The Civil War in France and Critique of the Gotha Programme-count among his most important work.
These articles include a searching analysis of the tragic but inspiring failure of the Paris Commune, as well as essays on German unification, the Irish question, the Polish national movement and the possibility of revolution in Russia.
The founding documents of the First international and polemical pieces attacking the disciples of Proudhon and Bakunin and the advocates of reformism, by contrast, reveal a tactical mastery that has influenced revolutionary movements ever since.
In a new introduction the renowned Marxist David Harvey sheds light on the evolution of Marx's notions of democracy and politics.
