Revolution: and Counter-Revolution in Germany

Revolution and Counterrevolution in Germany outlines Marx's theories on the 1848-49 German Revolution. In early August 1851, Charles Dana, editor of the New-York Daily Tribune, invited Marx to write. Since Marx was busy with economics, he asked Engels to write about the German Revolution. Engels used the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. Marx, who regularly debated with Engels, read the pieces. Marx's articles appeared in the New York Daily Tribune from October 25, 1851 to October 23, 1852. It wasn't recognized that Engels wrote these pieces until 1913, when Marx and Engels' correspondence was published. Marx and Engels never republished it.<br/><br/>Biography<br/>Karl Marx (1818-83) The founder of scientific socialism developed the outlines of a philosophical and economic system after reading the early French socialists, British national economics and the materialism of Ludwig Feuerbach. Together with Friedrich Engels, he developed the revolutionary social philosophy known as Marxism.
