Karl Marx. The Communist Manifesto. The Poverty of Philosophy. Manuscripts 1844

Karl Marx has been and remains a key figure for understanding historical vicissitudes and the development of philosophical ideas for two centuries. This edition includes works that provide an understanding of the main principles of the theory and critique of... capitalism. In the "Communist Manifesto" – a programmatic document co-authored with Friedrich Engels, the foundations of class struggle and the goals of uniting the proletariat are outlined. "The Poverty of Philosophy" clarifies the Marxist view of social relations and the concept of property, and in the early "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844," Marx first discusses the alienation of labor and the nature of capitalism.
