About this listen
 In 1848, THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO was published by two émigrés from Germany. Marx and Engels' apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system that penetrates every corner of the world reduces every relationship to that of profit, and burst asunder the old forms of production and of politics. It is still a recognisable picture of our world – the vampiric energy of the system being once again highly contentious.

The Manifesto is a text that shows no sign of fading into antiquarian obscurity. Its ideas animate in different ways the work of writers like Yanis Varoufakis, Adam Tooze, Naomi Klein and the journalist Owen Jones.

China Mieville is not a writer who has been hemmed in by conventional notions of expertise or genre, and this is a strikingly imaginative take on Marx and what his most haunting book has to say to us today.©2022 China Mieville (P)2022 Head of Zeus 20th Century Communism & Socialism History & Theory Ideologies & Doctrines Modern Philosophy Political Science Politics & Government

Excellent exposition. Finely delivered, with clarity and passion. A welcome, refreshing draught. I hope a whole new generation of people discovers the Communist Manifesto through China Miéville.
