Dispatches for the New York Tribune: Selected Journalism of Karl Marx

A compelling, wide-ranging collection of Karl Marxs journalismavailable only from Penguin Classics
Karl Marx is arguably the most famous political philosopher of all time, but he was also one of the great foreign correspondents of the nineteenth century. Drawing on his eleven-year tenure at the New York "Tribune" (which began in 1852), this completely new collection presents Marxs writings on an abundance of topics, from issues of class and state to world affairs. Particularly moving pieces highlight social inequality and starvation in Britain, while others explore his groundbreaking views on the slave and opium trades. Throughout, Marxs fresh perspective on nineteenth-century events reveals a social consciousness that remains inspiring to this day.
