The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State by Friedrich Engels

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

3.75

A good read for anyone wanting to get into marxism. Despite being written after the death of the founder of communism, Engels stills writes in continuity with its ideology and links how the concept of family and its development is profoundly linked to the appearance of private property and the state.
Not up to date on new anthropological evidences and informations, with some major sexist and homophobic biases still showing, it remains a cornerstone of its genre.
