This new edition includes an introduction by Rob Sewell, placing the text in its historical context and defending the fundamental ideas and method of Marxism, which has stood the test of time. After joining the fight against the counter revolution in Germany in 1848 he returned to Manchester and the family business, finally settling there in 1850. Brought up as a devout Calvinist he moved to England in 1842 to work in his father's Manchester textile firm. To commemorate 200 years since Engels' birth, we are proud to republish this extraordinarily relevant work of scientific socialism. Friedrich Engels was born in 1820, in the German city of Barmen. It is ultimately "armed bodies of men" in defence of the ruling class.

He also shows that the state, far from being a neutral arbiter in society, arose with the emergence of class society. Rather, it emerged historically with the production of a surplus and the division of society into classes. Using the method of historical materialism, Engels also demonstrates that the oppression of women has not always existed, and is not the product of inherent traits. He shows that, ultimately, the determining factor in these changes is the economic mode of production.

Basing himself on the research of anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan, Friedrich Engels builds on his revolutionary discovery that the family structure has passed through multiple stages throughout history.
