" Without question one of the most significant books in modern history, The Communist Manifesto is a brief, populist pamphlet that distils the core ideas of Communism into accessible prose. Published just months before violent uprisings threatened to destabilise much of the European establishment, it outlines a view of history as a constant battle between the classes that will inevitably result in revolution. An angry call for a stateless world where the workers are no longer exploited, its depiction of the remorseless nature of the remorseless nature of modern capitalism is as alarming and striking now as it was in 1848."

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:This work includes Marx's short, iconic book on socialism and communism and finishes with some very short writings by Friedrich Engels, who wrote on the same subject during the same period. The great value to listeners interested in Western thought would be to experience the short essay by the founder of one of the most important political ideas in the mid-nineteenth century. The translation from German seems smooth and fluent. Narrator Charles Armstrong has a British accent and adopts a brisk pace as he delivers Marx's work. Roy McMillan, also British, delivers the contributions of Engels, the two narrators making a helpful distinction between the writers. The most noteworthy of Marx's ideas was his prediction that the capitalism of his time would be replaced by socialism, and eventually by communism. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine"
