This review is from: Collected Works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, 1848, Vol. 7: Demands of the Communist Party in Germany, Articles, Speeches (Hardcover)

Volume 7 of the massive 50 volume set of the English translations of all the writings of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels is a very significant book. Having developed and refined their theory of dialectical historical materialism known as scientific socialism, Marx and Engels set about applying their theory to explain the significance of events occuring in their own day.

Because Volume contains the writings of Marx nd Engels from the year 1848, the events which fill the pages of this book are the various revolutionary upsurges that were occurring all around Europe that year. In Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Vienna, and Hungary along with many other places in Europe, the revolt of the people required monarchs everywhere to come to terms with the demands of the people for representive assemblies and constitutions which would restrict the absolute authority and "devine right" of royalty. All by itself, Volume 7 is exciting reading of one of the most significant times in human history.
