The Peasant War in Germany is a book written in 1850, which seeks to explain the revolts of the sixteenth century.

Engels wrote the book in the summer of 1850 in London, following the failure of the revolutions of 1848, drawing a parallel between this uprising and the also failed Peasants' War of 1525.

The book discusses the complex social structure of Germany in the 16th century. Engels argues that capitalism and Protestantism are associated, as Max Weber, in his work The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.

The Communist Manifesto

Friedrich Engels

The Manifesto of the Communist Party, often referred to simply as the Communist Manifesto, is an early text by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels written as a manifesto between 1847 and 1848 when the revolutions of 1848 began.

It was commissioned by the League of Communists, and first published in London on February 21, 1848, as a 23-page pamphlet that recognizes the Communists as a political force in Europe and sets out their concepts, aims, and tendencies.

It already reflects the previous foundations of Marxism, including the materialist conception of history, the class struggle, and the conflicts of the capitalist mode of production. However, it is still before the development of Marxist economics.
