Frederick Engels

The book, an English translation of which is here republished, was first issued in Germany in 1845. The author, at that time, was young, twenty-four years of age, and his production bears the stamp of his youth with its good and its faulty features, of neither of which he feels ashamed. It was translated into English, in 1885, by an American lady, Mrs. F. Kelley Wischnewetzky, and published in the following year in New York. The American edition being as good as exhausted, and having never...

A classic of Marxism, Anti-Dühring was highly recommended by Lenin as a 'text book' of scientific socialism. It was originally written as a polemic against Eugen Dühring, a German revisionist who challenged the basic ideas of Marxism by counterposing his own 'scientific' theories within the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Very reluctantly, Engels was forced to take up these ideas and in doing so explained in the clearest fashion the revolutionary theories of Marxism.The origina...

Karl Marx

Translated by

Samuel Moore, Frederick Engels, Edward Aveling

In "Capital," Karl Marx presents a critical analysis of political economy, unearthing the dynamics of capitalist production and its inherent contradictions. Employing a rigorous dialectical method, Marx deconstructs the commodity form, labor relations, and capital accumulation, all while weaving a rich tapestry of historical materialism. The text is both a profound philosophical treatise and an empirical investigation, reflecting the industrial transformations of the 19th century and engag...

This little book was not planned as a book. In 1877 and 1878 Engels spent the best part of a year answering Eugen Duehring, a Berlin lecturer who had announced his conversion to socialism and presented the German public with a whole new system. The reply ran to a fat volume of philosophy, economics and natural science - Anti-Duehring. Then, as Engels tells the story in the introduction printed here, "At the request of my friend, Paul Lafargue ... I arranged three chapters of this book as a...

Friedrich Engels was twenty-four when he finished this book, and he had done something no socialist writer had done before him: he had gone to look.Sent by his father in late 1842 to the family firm of Ermen & Engels in Manchester, he spent twenty months in the world capital of the factory system not as a tourist of misery but as an investigator - walking the courts and cellars of the Old Town, reading the parliamentary blue books and the factory inspectors' reports, and, as he tel...

This is the book that founded a world outlook, and its author did not want to write it. Engels says so in the first sentence of the first preface: "The following work is by no means the fruit of any 'inner urge'. On the contrary."Eugen Duehring, a lecturer at Berlin University who wrote at enormous speed on everything, had announced himself a socialist - and not merely a socialist but the author of a complete new system covering philosophy, political economy and the shape of the so...
