Description

How the emergence of class-divided society gave rise to repressive state bodies and family structures that protect the property of the ruling layers and enable them to pass along wealth and privilege. Engels discusses the consequences for working people of these class institutions -- from their original forms to their modern versions.

Introduction by Evelyn Reed, notes, name index, subject index. Now with enlarged type.
