About this ebook

A new translation of the minor works of Marx into American English. This edition includes a new introduction by the translator and reference materials including a Glossary of Philosophic and Economic Marxist Terminology, an Index of Personalities Associated with Marx and a Timeline of Marx’s Life and Works.

This is volume XIII, the last volume, in the Complete Works of Karl Marx by Livraria Press.

This series offers fresh translations of Marx's works from the original manuscripts chronologically laid out, including rare and unpublished manuscripts. Marx was a prolific writer, publishing dozens of massive works and drafting a dozen books that were never finished. Marx published a dozen articles in the New-York Daily Tribune, now the New York Times, as well as countless pamphlets and essays in various journals and magazines. In 1864, he wrote a letter directly to Abraham Lincoln on his re-election after years of commenting on the Civil War extensively. This series resurrects these manuscripts with new life in unabridged, literal translations directly from the original manuscripts into modern American English.

This volume contains all of Marx's minor manuscripts, including his letter to Abraham Lincoln and his Thesis on Feuerbach. These works provide critical context to the development of Marx's ideology across the years. Included here are translations of:

1842 Remarks on the new Prussian censorship instruction

1842 The Proceedings of the 6th Rhenish Parliament

1842 The Philosophical Manifesto of the Historical School of Law

1844 On the Jewish Question

1845 Theses on Feuerbach

1846 To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America

1865 Wage, Price, Profit

About the author

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist and revolutionary whose ideas have had a profound influence on political theory, economics and social science. Along with Friedrich Engels, Marx developed the theory of historical materialism, arguing that economic structures fundamentally shape social development. His seminal works, The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, criticise the capitalist system, arguing that it leads to class struggle and the exploitation of the working class. Marx envisioned a society in which class distinctions would dissolve, culminating in a classless, stateless society. His theories laid the foundations for various socialist and communist movements, influencing world politics and inspiring revolutions. Although controversial, Marx's analysis of capitalism and advocacy of social justice continue to be studied and debated, making him one of the most influential thinkers in modern history.
