Marx and Engels's apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system, which penetrates every corner of the globe, reduces every relationship to that of profit, and bursts asunder the old forms of production and of politics, remains a picture of our world. And the vampiric energy of that system is once again highly contentious. The \u003ci\u003eManifesto\u003c\/i\u003e shows no sign of fading into antiquarian obscurity and remains a key touchstone for modern political debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChina Miéville is not a writer hemmed in by conventions of disciplinary boundaries or genre, and this is a strikingly imaginative take on Marx and what his most haunting book has to say to us today. Like the \u003ci\u003eManifesto\u003c\/i\u003e itself, this is a book haunted by ghosts, sorcery, and creative destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45706104766700,"sku":"9781803289342","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781803289342.jpg?v=1725883018","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/a-spectre-haunting","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
