A review by babajana
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Friedrich Engels

5.0

I started this book because of a recommendation by a professor of mine and I wasn’t disappointed. It‘s a really good and concise overview of the development of scientific socialism as well as the theory itself. It has been said before, but I also think that this is a better introduction to communism than the Communist Manifesto: its historical thesis is in line with everything I learned at university and all in all it is much less polemic, making it super accessible especially for everyone coming out of an academic context.
