A little about the book
Marx and Engels describe capitalism as a force that breaks older social ties, expands markets and changes the terms on which people work. They place class conflict at the centre of that account and argue for international political organisation.
The short text works as a pamphlet as well as a historical document. Its authors spend part of it distinguishing their aims from other movements that also called themselves socialist.
