By A Customer

This is Volume 5, of the 50 volume set of the entire collection of all the writings of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. Marx and Engels were the founders of scientific socialism which drew elements from three main sources--English economics of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, utopian French socialism of Charles Fourier and Claude Henri Saint-Simon and from the German philosophy of Georg Wilhem Frederich Hegel.

Reading the entire 50 volume set of the Collected Works can be a daunting task, but it is an effort that will offer the reader the best chance to get inside the minds of the two nintgeenth century philosphers and follow all their steps as they sztruggled to develop a coherent concept of the economic system of the world.

Short of reading the entire set, each volume is a self contained book which offers real insight into the Marxian theory. Volume 5, covering the years 1845 thru 1847, contains "German Ideology" where Marx and Engels do philosophical battle with the Young Hegelians.
