The Origin of Family, Private Property in the State

Book •
In 'The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State,' Friedrich Engels examines the historical development of social structures.

He traces the origins of the family, private property, and the state to specific economic and social changes.

Engels argues that the rise of private property led to the subjugation of women and the creation of patriarchal family structures.

The book analyzes how the state emerged as an instrument of class rule, serving the interests of the dominant economic class.

Engels draws on anthropological and historical evidence to support his analysis.

His work provides a foundational text for Marxist feminism and offers insights into the relationship between economic systems and social institutions.
