About this listen

Widely debated since its publication in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Presenting an analytical approach to the problems of capitalism and the resulting class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the text lays out the rationale and goals of communism as conceived by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

This edition of The Communist Manifesto is based on the English edition of 1888. In addition, this collection includes the following essays and writings by Marx, translated by H. J. Stenning: "A Criticism of the Hegelian Philosophy of Right", "On the King of Prussia and Social Reform", "Moralizing Criticism and Critical Morality: A Polemic Against Karl Heinzen", "Proudhon", "French Materialism", and "The English Revolution".

This is a very good introduction to the writings & opinions of Marx for the student of political economy or history, showcasing some of his most famous & pithiest short works. The performance, unfortunately, does not live up to the text: McLaren gives very little intonation & emphasis where one would expect it & runs long nineteenth-century sentences & paragraphs into one another so as to make opaque their sense. In addition, his pronunciation of non-English words is inconsistent, often resulting in that what word he's pronouncing is difficult to ascertain.

An excellent selection - not excellently read
