Description
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...

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...

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...

Description
When Karl Marx declared religion the opium of the people, he voiced a central tenet of the philosophy that bears his name. In this collection of essays and letters by Marx and his colleague, Friedrich Engels, the founders of Marxism discuss their perspectives on the origins and essence of religion. These writings constitute the theoretical basis of proletarian Marxist atheism. The authors trace the rise of religious belief from primitive humans' struggles...

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. Más cerca en el tiempo, el estallido financiero de...

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...

Marx's Critique of the Gotha Program is a revelation. It offers the fullest elaboration of his vision for a communist future, free from the shackles of capital, but also the state. Neglected by the statist versions of socialism, whether Social Democratic or Stalinist that left a wreckage of coercion and disillusionment in their wake, this new annotated translation of Marx's Critique makes clear for the first time the full emancipatory scope of Marx's...
