The Communist Manifesto was first published in London in 1848 by two young men in their late
twenties. Its impact reverberated across the globe and throughout the next century and it has
come to be recognised as one of the most important political texts ever written. Maintaining
that the history of all societies is a history of class struggle the manifesto proclaims that
communism is the only route to equality and is a call to action aimed at the proletariat. It
is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand our modern political landscape. Published
to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx's birth this pocket edition includes a new
introduction by the economist and bestselling author of And the Weak Suffer What They Must? and
Adults in the Room Yanis Varoufakis.
