Karl Marx worked as a professional journalist for over a decade after the Revolution of 1848, writing from London for newspapers in America and Europe. He continued his analysis of the crisis of revolution, focusing on the new mass democratic state that emerged in the absence of the dictatorship of the proletariat. This book is the first to select and bring together Marx's journalism around a conceptual theme, rather than a mere topic. Whatever the subject, Marx and Engels' journalism is shown to constellate around "bonapartism," a concept that Marx critically appropriated from liberals distressed at the post-1848 order. .
