Publisher's Synopsis
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is a book written by Frederick Engels in 1907. The book is an analysis of the development of socialism from its utopian origins to its scientific foundation. Engels argues that utopian socialism, which was based on idealistic visions of a perfect society, was insufficient in providing a practical solution to the problems of capitalism. He instead advocates for scientific socialism, which is grounded in the material conditions of society and seeks to create a classless society through the overthrow of the capitalist system. Engels also discusses the role of the working class in the socialist movement and the importance of Marxist theory in understanding the dynamics of capitalism. Overall, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is a seminal work in the development of Marxist theory and remains a relevant critique of capitalism and a call to action for socialist revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
