This is the sixth volume of the 50 volume set contianing English translations of all the writings of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. The publication of the entire 50 volumes was the massive undertaking of International Publishers of New York City. It is truly a historic project which has taken since 1975. Some of the articles and writings contained in the 50 volume set have never before been seen in English. Some have never been published in any language and some were discovered even as the publication of this collection was going to press and are seen here in this set for the first time.

Volume 6 contains Marx's "Poverty of Philosophy: Answer to 'Philosophy of Poverty' by M. Proudhon" wherein Marx presents for the first time his fully matured theory of scientific socialism as he attacks the utopian ideas of the ancharist followers of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Also contained in Volume 6 is the most widely read of all the writings of Marx and Engels--the Manifesto of the Communist Party.
