After four years of collaboration, they produced an incisive account of their idea of Communism, in which they envisage a society without classes, private property or a state, arguing that the exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which Capitalism is overthrown. This vision provided the theoretical basis of political systems in Russia, China, Cuba and Eastern Europe, affecting the lives of millions. \u003ci\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e still remains a landmark text: a work that continues to influence and provoke debate on capitalism and class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGareth Stedman Jones's extensive and scholarly introduction provides an unique assessment of the place of \u003ci\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e in history, and its continuing relevance as a depiction of global capitalism.
