description: The 2nd edition of McLellan's comprehensive selection of Marx's writings includes extracts from the whole range of his political, philosophical &amp; economic thought. Each section deals with a different period of his life with the sections arranged chronologically, allowing readers to trace the development of his thought from his early years as a student &amp; political journalist in Germany to his final letters of the early 1880s. The inclusion of extracts from some of his less well-known works alongside selections from classics such as The Communist Manifesto &amp; Capital provide readers with an overview of his thinking, whilst McLellan's fully updated &amp; revised introduction &amp; bibliographical notes accompanying each extract put his writings into biographical &amp; historical context. This edition also includes a bibliography &amp; index of names &amp; ideas as well as a new general introduction for each section. As with the 1st edition, this comprehensive &amp; clearly structured selection will be essential reading for all those interested in the political thought of this important figure in Western political philosophy.
