In this selection of the political writings of Karl Marx that predate the Communist Manifesto, excerpts from the "Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right," "Points on the State and Bourgeois Society" and other writings are newly translated and arranged in a sequence that illuminates the development of his thought, while the introduction discusses the intellectual context of his theories. This volume will be an invaluable guide to the formation of one of the most influential doctrines in the history of political thought.
