It is, as John Rees says in his introduction, a startling book, combining a clear account of the development of capitalism with a survey of the battle for socialist ideas in the new working class and discussion of questions of method and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eVery few authors manage to accessible writing with deep insight into how society works. Fewer still manage to combine both with brevity. Frederick Engels, perhaps even more than Karl Marx, was one who did. One of the best concise accounts of capitalist development, \u003ci\u003eSocialism: Utopian and Scientific\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent introduction to Marx’s revolutionary socialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith an introduction by John Rees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Counterfire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54331152793923,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/4970\/1443\/files\/socialism_utopian_scientific.jpg?v=1776382991","url":"https:\/\/shop.counterfire.org\/products\/socialism-utopian-and-scientific-frederick-engels","provider":"Counterfire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
