This edition of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels’ The German Ideology makes available the living parts of the authors’ first exposition of the new revolutionary philosophy, written with all the freshness of a new discovery.

Edited by C.J. Arthur, of the School of Social Studies at Sussex University, England, who supplies a lucid Introduction on the place of The German Ideology in the evolution of Marxism. Also included is a new Foreword by C.J. Atkins, managing editor of the People’s World. Atkins discusses Marxism before The Communist Manifesto and how Marx and Engels outline the materialist conception of history in opposition to idealism, or Hegelianism.

This is a must-read for any serious student of Marxism.
