"This anthology emphasizes Marx as political sociologist and philosopher of history rather than as economist, for it is in this role that Marx's influence is felt throughout the world today. In addition to Marx's and Engels's classic political works, many of their writings on general philosophy, ethics, religion, and mystical movements are also represented. Included here are The Communist Manifesto, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, The Critique of the Gotha Programme, Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy (Engels); large sections of The Class Struggles in France, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, The Civil War in France, and many other works, including little-known letters and essays..." -- Back cover.
