Kundenrezensionen
This is more than an economics book it is a way of life. It sounds good on paper but makes a lot of assumptions. Instead of worrying about workability, look at the logic that is built on assumptions of that time (written, in 1848). Add this to your library.
You can pick a side (pro or con) and make a stand if you like; but look at the size of this book and realize that many people will just use the title and build their own case. You will have read the real thing.
Be sure to balance it with. "The Capitalist Manifesto" by Louis O. Kelso
Marx's COMMUNIST MANIFESTO is, as has been mentioned in other posts, a work of propaganda. As such, it is much lighter reading than some of Marx's other works (e.g. Das Kapital). It was originally intended for industrial workers and was written to be understood by them. The style is equally accessible to the modern reader. As many have said in previous posts, if you are looking for a concise, readable summary of socialist/communist ideology, this is probably your best bet. If you are interested in a more heavy-duty discussion of the Communist world-view, you might want to consider reading one of Marx and Engels' bulky theoretical works.
You wouldn't know it from some of the posts on this page, but the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO has had both positive and negative consequences. Attributing Stalin's slaughters solely to Marx, for example, is certainly unfair. Many factors, not the least of which was Stalin himself, led to those tragic events. Similar points could be made concerning other abusive "communist/socialist" regimes.
We must also consider the positive effects this work has had on the world we live in. When Marx wrote this pamphlet, the industrial revolution in England was causing tremendous suffering and injustice. Laissez-faire capitalism had created a very unequal system. Those of you familiar with the turn-of-the-century United States probably recognize this scenario. The form of democracy at the time of this book's introduction closely resembled an oligarchy, in which the rich and powerful ruled over the weak. The impact of socialist ideology on this situation was very great: labor movements were created, egalitarianism became a greater part of democratic ideology, and the lower classes became more significant to the political system than they had ever been before. In short, a significant part of what we call "democracy" can be indirectly traced to Marx.
For the record, the greatest weakness of Marx's argument, in my view, is his failure to predict the significance of the middle class in the wealthiest nations. Marx's view was that the middle classes would either be absorbed into the working class or would become proprietors (i.e. bourgeois). The success of the middle class probably accounts for the failure of Marx's predictive theory.
The irony of Marx's ideology, of course, is that Marx himself (and Engels, for that matter) was a member of the upper class (or, at the very least, of the upper middle class). He never experienced the misery which he opposed. Nevertheless, for a straightforward, clear articulation of a worldview that rocked the world, this is the book to read.
This is more than an economics book it is a way of life. It sounds good on paper but makes many assumptions. Instead of worrying about workability, look at the logic that is built on assumptions of that time (written, in 1848). Add this to your library.
You can pick a side (pro or con) and make a stand if you like; but look at the size of this book and realize that many people will just use the title and build their own case. You will have read the real thing.
Be sure to balance it with "The Capitalist Manifesto" by Louis O. Kelso
