Tanked the economy

Hey... Hey, guys...
Hym "Wouldn't it be funny if every time liberals got into office we tanked the economy and blamed it on them? Heh... We could probably be pretty subtle about it and just tank it every time we lose and then hold 'a good economy' hostage so we can maintain the status quo. LIKE WE DO WITH OUR RELIGION!

A book written by Karl Marx and published in 1867 that deals with the development of capitalism and its problems. It is generally highly admired for its foresight of how capitalism would eventually develop over time.

Note that Capital: A Critique of Political Economy is purely criticizing the status quo, predicting its development and pinpointing its problems, while the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or simply Communist Manifesto) offers possible solutions to these problems.
