Unabridged version of The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in English, for chump change. This political classic has had a huge impact in our global culture. No need to like it. Just read it. The Manifesto is the declaration for the world view of what Marx and Engels wanted. Read their own voice, decide for yourself what they would think of today's world governments that may be 'communist' with heavy financial backing, or 'capitalist' with taxes intended to distribute the wealth. Are the author's themselves visionaries? Or people incapable of thoughtful discussion? The battle cry of one side of the Cold War. Provided in a slim volume with the full text at an affordable price.
