Yet there remains no wholly satisfactory stand-alone version in English, with only a heavily abridged 1970 edition edited by C.J. Arthur, or a facsimile edition taken from Vol. 5 of the Marx-Engels Collected Works, which does not include satisfactory scholarly notes, currently available. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this new Repeater Classics edition, Tom Whyman seeks to remedy this. By expanding on generally-available abridgements to include the bulk of the section on Max Stirner, as well as amending the translation, adding notes and providing a new critical introduction, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eThe German Ideology\u003c\/i\u003e will allow non-specialists to engage with this critical work for the first time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when interest in Marx''s work is increasing, as people look for an alternative to our currently failing political system, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eThe German Ideology\u003c\/i\u003e will bring Marx''s most substantial vision of what communism might actually be like to a whole new audience.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57313278886270,"sku":"NW9781913462956","price":11.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781913462956.jpg?v=1778530912","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/german-ideology","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
