Socialism, Utopian and Scientific by Friedrich Engels

"Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" by Friedrich Engels is a short book first published in 1880. Extracted from his larger work "Anti-Dühring," this pamphlet distinguishes between utopian and scientific socialism, arguing that true social change stems from material economic conditions rather than abstract ideals. Engels examines early socialist thinkers like Saint-Simon and Fourier before presenting Marx's materialist conception of history. The work became one of the most influential socialist publications of its era, selling tens of thousands of copies worldwide. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
