Frederick Engels

The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The history of the proletariat in England begins with the second half of the last century, with the invention of the steam-engine and of machinery for working cotton. These inventions gave rise, as is well known, to an industrial revolution, a revolution which altered the whole civil society; one, the historical importance of which is only now beginning to be recognised. England is the classic soil of this transformation, which was all the mightier, the more silently it proceeded; and England is, therefore, the classic land of its chief product also, the proletariat. Only in England can the proletariat be studied in all its relations and from all sides.

Frederick Engels was a prominent philosopher, social scientist, and revolutionary thinker. Born on November 28, 1820, in Barmen, Prussia (now part of Germany), Engels played a crucial role in shaping Marxist theory alongside his intellectual partner, Karl Marx. In 1845, Engels relocated to Brussels, where he formed a lifelong partnership with Marx. Together, they collaborated on several influential works, including "The Communist Manifesto". Engels provided significant financial support to Marx, enabling him to devote himself to intellectual pursuits. Frederick Engels dedicated his life to the study and promotion of Marxism. He continued to write and publish works on political economy, history, and social theory. His contributions played a pivotal role in shaping socialist and communist movements worldwide. Engels passed away on August 5, 1895, in London, leaving behind a rich intellectual legacy that continues to inspire generations of scholars and activists.
