Each section of the book deals with a different period of Marx's life, allowing the reader to trace the development of Marx's thought, from his early years as a student and political journalist in Germany through to his final letters of the early 1880s. Also included in the new edition are a fully updated bibliography and new editorial introductions to each section of the book, providing a clear guide to the background and context of Marx's work."--Jacket.
