Karl Marx: Selected Writings
£17.50
Everything is here - This is simply the best selection of writings available - you wont need anything else if you want to tackle Marx directly
misadvertised - this is not the Maclellan edition as advertised above, but rather a smaller edition edited by Hugh Griffiths. It is a completely different text, as I found to my annoyance!
Excellent Selection of Marx s Writings. - This is an excellent selection of the writings of Karl Marx. This includes many writings which do not make it into the usual Marx/Engels Readers, Writings including Marx s Letters, his criticism of Bakunin, more writings on economics than in the usual Reader, and so on. One flaw of it, though, is that it does not contain the later writings of Engels writen after Marx s death. I suppose this is to be expected, It is after all *Marx s* writings, not Engels. However, the loss does not affect it much, and the book is still one of the most valuable tomes of Marxism I ve bought. I d recommend anyone interested in the thought of Karl Marx to get this book, If one is interested in both the writings of Marx and Engels, I d recommend they get this book and the Marx/Engels Reader to supplement it. I have both, and both are fascinating.
