Escrito en 1848 por dos revolucionarios de 28 y 30 años, olvidado o revitalizado según el momento histórico, el Manifiesto Comunista se irradió por todo el globo y se tradujo a todas las lenguas, excediendo largamente la esfera del movimiento obrero y las izquierdas. Incluso después del fin del comunismo soviético y la declinación de los partidos marxistas, el Manifiesto se afirma como el clásico político más influyente, con mucho que decir...

Marx published "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" in 1852. The "Eighteenth Brumaire" refers to November 9, 1799 in the French Revolutionary Calendar-the day Napoleon Bonaparte made himself dictator. In this piece, Marx traces how the clash of different public interests manifest themselves in the complex net of political struggles, and in particular the contradictory relationships between the external form of a struggle and its real social...

Whenever a collection of Marx's works is published, a few questions inevitably arise. Is Marx still relevant today? Do we still have something to gain from reading the great man's thoughts about economic structures? To put this question another way - if Marx was wrong, in the end, about what communism would look like, then why do we still read his writings?
One way to answer this is by looking at the similarities between Marx's world and ours. The...

One of the most notorious works of modern times, as well as one of the most influential, Capital is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and generate fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would create an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted...

Como Marx expone en el prólogo a la Crítica de la Economía política, la finalidad que Marx y Engels perseguían al escribir La ideología alemana era "desentrañar conjuntamente el antagonismo entre nuestra concepción y la de la ideológica de la filosofía alemana, en realidad, ajustar cuentas con nuestra conciencia filosófica anterior. Y el propósito se llevó a cabo bajo la forma de una crítica de la filosofía posthegeliana". En carta...

Una vez superado el clima de antimarxismo dominante en los años ochenta y noventa, el Marx del siglo XXI quedó liberado de la pesada hipoteca de ser el "padre" de los comunismos reales del siglo XX. De los escombros del Muro de Berlín surgió un Marx capaz de ofrecer claves válidas para entender el mundo globalizado por fuera de las interpretaciones canónicas de un partido o una ideología.

In the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 Marx explains how, under capitalism, people rely on labor to live. In the past people could rely on Nature itself for their natural needs; in modern society, if one wants to eat, one must work: it is only through money that one may survive. Thus, man becomes a slave to his wages. It is only through his work that he can find enough money to continue to live; but he doesn't simply live, he actually...
