The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State

Friedrich Engels' "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State" remains a seminal work in social sciences, exploring the evolution of human society through the lens of historical materialism.

This classic text delves into the interconnectedness of these fundamental societal elements, tracing their development and impact on social evolution. Engels' analysis provides a framework for understanding the historical roots of social inequalities and the rise of class-based systems. His work has had a profound influence on sociological thought and political ideologies, particularly within the context of socialism. This meticulously prepared print edition offers readers a crucial resource for understanding the foundations of social organization and the historical forces that have shaped our world. A valuable resource for anyone studying sociology, social history, or political ideologies.
