Synopsis
THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO (1848) examines the rise of the working class and its inevitable revolution. It eloquently describes capitalism's widespread influence and eventual demise, and sets forth the basis of Marxism. One of the most influential writings in history, it remains highly relevant to contemporary economic and political systems.

Industry Reviews
May 1 to honor the 150th anniversary of the original publication of Marx and Engels's masterpiece with this quality, affordable hardcover. This edition contains a new introduction by historian Eric Hobsbawn, who insists that the work should be read not only as a great work of literature but that, 150 years later, it still has much to teach us for the next millennium.
Auerbach
[Marx's] style in the Manifesto is a kind of Expressionist lyricism. Every paragraph breaks over us like a wave that leaves us shaking from the impact and wet with thought. . . . At one of the book's many climactic moments, Marx says that the Revolution will end classes and class struggles, and this will make it possible to enjoy 'an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.' . . . As the nineties end, we find ourselves in a dynamic global society ever more unified by downsizing, de-skilling and dread--just like the old man said. . . . That classic bearded presence, the atheist as biblical prophet, is back just in time for the millennium. At the dawn of the twentieth century, there were workers who were ready to die with the Communist Manifesto. At the dawn of the twenty-first, there may be even more who are ready to live with it.

Berman
In his introduction to the Verso anniversary edition of The Communist Manifesto, Eric Hobsbawn comments: 'The world described by Marx and Engels in 1848 . . . is recognisably that in which we live 150 years later.' . . . The fall of Communism destroyed Marxian socialism as a political project. At the same time, it gave Marx's analysis of capitalism a new lease on life. By removing from the world any alternative economic system, the Soviet debacle allowed a truly global capitalism to develop, the destructive consequences of which for social cohesion are prefigured in Marx's thought. . . . What long seemed most anachronistic in The Communist Manifesto now looks prophetic. As we near the end of the century, we cannot escape the paradox that, partly as a consequence of the implosion of Marxian socialism, Marx's view of capitalism has been in some crucial respects vindicated.
