A World Without Jews

The first English translation of Karl Marx's anti-Semitic writings, with critical analysis by the founder of the Philosophical Library.   Long available to the readers of Soviet Russia, here are the unexpurgated papers of Karl Marx on the so-called Jewish question, translated into English by philosopher Dagobert D. Runes. While most of Marx's anti-Semitic diatribes were carefully eliminated by the translators and editors of his books, journalistic writings, and correspondence, their influence was still considerable. Readers unfamiliar with this aspect of Marx's thought will be startled to discover how well it has served the purposes of the totalitarian regimes of our time.   Runes presents this accurate and unflinching translation with the conviction that any student of Marx should be aware of this aspect of his thought. Extensive comments and critical annotations related to the material appear throughout the book.
