About the author
Karl Marx
2,930 books6,632 followersWith the help of Friedrich Engels, German philosopher and revolutionary Karl Marx wrote
The Communist Manifesto
(1848) and
Das Kapital
(1867-1894), works, which explain historical development in terms of the interaction of contradictory economic forces, form many regimes, and profoundly influenced the social sciences.
German social theorist Friedrich Engels collaborated with Karl Marx on The Communist Manifesto in 1848 and on numerous other works.
Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin in London opposed Communism of Karl Marx with his antithetical anarchy.
Works of Jacques Martin Barzun include Darwin, Marx, Wagner (1941).
The Prussian kingdom introduced a prohibition on Jews, practicing law; in response, a man converted to Protestantism and shortly afterward fathered Karl Marx.
Marx began co-operating with Bruno Bauer on editing Philosophy of Religion of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (see Democritus and Epicurus), doctoral thesis, also engaged Marx, who completed it in 1841. People described the controversial essay as "a daring and original piece... in which Marx set out to show that theology must yield to the superior wisdom." Marx decided to submit his thesis not to the particularly conservative professors at the University of Berlin but instead to the more liberal faculty of University of Jena, which for his contributed key theory awarded his Philosophiae Doctor in April 1841. Marx and Bauer, both atheists, in March 1841 began plans for a journal, entitled Archiv des Atheismus (Atheistic Archives), which never came to fruition.
Marx edited the newspaper Vorwärts! in 1844 in Paris. The urging of the Prussian government from France banished and expelled Marx in absentia; he then studied in Brussels. He joined the league in 1847 and published.
Marx participated the failure of 1848 and afterward eventually wound in London. Marx, a foreigner, corresponded for several publications of United States.
He came in three volumes. Marx organized the International and the social democratic party.
Marx in a letter to C. Schmidt once quipped, "All I know is that I am not a Marxist," as Warren Allen Smith related in Who's Who in Hell .
People describe Marx, who most figured among humans. They typically cite Marx with Émile Durkheim and Max Weber, the principal modern architects.
Bertrand Russell later remarked of non-religious Marx, "His belief that there is a cosmic ... called dialectical materialism, which governs ... independently of human volitions, is mere mythology" ( Portraits from Memory , 1956).

Not really going to get into a deep analysis of Fernbachs work right here. But i had quite a few problems with the entire 'political writings of Karl Marx' series (1-3). First of all it contains quite a few factual errors. To name one this volume claims that Marx could not even consider supporting an independent anticolonial movement in India in the 1850s, while its should be obvious for anyone that has read Marx' writings on India that he did support such a movement. Not only when the Sepoy-riots started, but also in the early 1850s, he stated that the Indians had to "throw of the english yoke" in order to reap the benefits brought about by colonialism.
Lets just say that none of the introductions are thrustworthy, and i would just avoid reading them at all. (Even in the 2010 edition, this is true.) However the collection of articles isnt bad, and i guess its worth buying the books in order to get your own copy of them.

Much of this book is hard to follow due to the specific historical contexts Marx is constantly referring to. The substance of the analysis makes it well worth reading, but that difficulty is omnipresent and takes a lot away from reading it today.

A superb selection of mature political writing from Marx. In slogging through his heavy weight economic work, I had forgotten how engaging his political and journalistic work can be.
This volume includes two of his more well known pieces of political writing - the Class Struggles in France, and the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte. These are significant examples of Marx starting to use his developing economic theories for practical analysis. Both are very interesting on this basis, but are also very readable in their own right.
An excellent short volume, easy to read, and very insightful for Marx's overall thought.
