Originally published on the eve of the 1848 European revolutions, The Communist Manifesto is a condensed and incisive account of the worldview Marx and Engels developed during their hectic intellectual and political collaboration. Formulating the principles of dialectical materialism, they believed that labor creates wealth, hence capitalism is exploitive and antithetical to freedom.

I have never read a book that makes such an emotional case for the plight of the minorities and the less empowered. Whether one advocates these ideals or not, one will surely become immersed in this Mastery of literary voice.
