Summary:
"The Communist Manifesto" is the classic work of economics that
initiated one of the greatest movements of political change that the
world has ever seen. The writings of Karl Marx expose the divide
between the elite ruling class and the working class that has existed
throughout history. At the time "The Communist Manifesto" was first
published it was intended to serve as a publication to help unite the
working class and to form a communist party based on the philosophies
of communism. To that aim it was successful and helped unleash a wave
of sweeping political change. In this age of twenty-four hour news
and information saturation, it is more important than ever to not
only question, but to also think critically about what we read every
day. To that end, Gateway proudly introduces "The Skeptical Reader
Series". This series will take a discerning look at the original
texts of some of the most infamous, yet widely-taught, texts in
modern academia. Kicking off the series will be "The Communist
Manifesto", followed by "Das Kapital", "The State and Revolution",
"Leviathan" and "The Social Contract". Each volume will be introduced
by an essay from a prominent scholar who will offer a skeptical
critique of the author's arguments and assertions. "The Skeptical
Reader Series" is perfect for academia, as well as for anyone who
relishes a politically incorrect point of view.
