Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
Autore di Manifesto del Partito Comunista
Sull'Autore
Friedrich Engels is perhaps best remembered as the confidant, colleague, and benefactor of Karl Marx. Engels was born into a Calvinist family on November 28, 1820. The family owned fabric mills in the Rhineland and had business interests in Manchester, England, Engels joined the family business at mostra altro age 16; he never had a formal university education. Despite his family's industrial background, Engels was sympathetic to the poverty of the working masses. At age 18 he published an attack on industrial poverty, and later joined the Hegelian movement that so influenced Marx and bothered conservative Prussian authorities. Engels first met Marx in 1842, while Marx was editor of a radical newspaper in Cologne. However, they did not establish their lifelong friendship until they met again in Paris two years later. Engels published several works related to economics, the first of which, Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy (1844), attempted to reconcile Hegelian philosophy with the principles of political economy. His second book, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845), was a damning description and condemnation of the poverty generated by the Industrial Revolution. Engels also co-authored three major works with Marx, the most important being the Communist Manifesto (1948). Engels also wrote several historical works, which are more important to historians than to economists. These include The Peasant War in Germany (1850), Germany: Revolution and Counter-Revolution (1851), and The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State (1884). In general, these works are more descriptive than theoretical, and they closely parallel Marx's views on industrialization and class struggle. In addition to being a friend of Marx, Engels was his prime benefactor for a number of years. During their early years in London, beginning in 1849, the Marx family was nearly destitute, and it was only through the generosity of Engels that they prevailed. Engels was also responsible for the publication of Marx's Das Kapital. Before his death, Marx was only able to complete the first volume of this work, and so Engels edited and arranged for the publication of the last two volumes after Marx's death. Engels was an engaging and thoughtful writer. It was perhaps his great fortune and misfortune that he was connected so closely to Marx. On the one hand, he was responsible for bringing much of Marx's work to fruition in his role as benefactor and editor. On the other hand, the shadow of Marx eclipsed some of the exposure that Engels's own ideas and contributions might have had. Engels died of throat cancer in London, 1895. Following cremation at Woking Crematorium, his ashes were scattered off Beachy Head, near Eastbourne as he had requested. (Bowker Author Biography) Friedrich Engels, German political economist, was born in what is now known as Wuppertal, in 1820. From 1842 to 1844 Engels worked in a textile mill in Manchester, England. During this time Engels theorized that all of the social unrest and worker discontent he encountered were the direct result of private ownership of property. He concluded that social ills could be eliminated only through a class struggle culminating in the end of private ownership and the establishment of a communistic form of government. The publication of his Condition of the Working Class (1844) reiterated his philosophy and his conclusions about an inevitable class struggle. Friedrich Engels first met Karl Marx in 1842. When they met again in Paris in 1844, the two men discovered they had a great similarity of views and decided to work together. They delineated the principles of communism, later known as Marxism, and their work resulted in the founding of an international communistic movement. The Communist Manifesto, penned by Marx, was based in part on a draft Engels prepared. It became renowned as the classic exposition of modern communism, and it had a profound influence upon all subsequent literature dealing with communism. Marx and Engels' partnership lasted until Marx's death in 1883. Engels carried on his work by editing the second and third volumes of Marx's Das Kapital. Friedrich Engels died in 1895.

Recensioni
una testimonianza unica della cultura politica in Italia negli anni '70 del XX sec.
Un testo di piccole dimensioni (150 pagine circa), ma assolutamente necessario per barcamenarsi nel materialismo storico che non è solo una concenzione che riduce tutto all'economia e ai rapporti di produzione, ma che fa influenzare tra loro base e sovrastruttura con i rapporti produttivi messi, sì, in primo piano, ma non visti come condizione sufficiente a comprendere la realtà. Le prime 95 pagine sono occupate da un'introduzione di Cervetto e alcuni capitoli de "L'ideologia tedesca", mentre le ultime 45 pagine sono dedicate a lettere di Marx ed Engels a vari destinatari.
Un libro piuttosto basilare, ma che è bene leggere avendo già un'infarinatura dei concetti e del "gergo" marxista in modo da comprenderlo e fruirne al meglio.… (altro)

In ogni epoca storica il sistema prevalente di produzione e di scambio e la struttura sociale che necessariamente ne consegue, formano la base su cui si costruisce la storia politica ed intellettuale dell'epoca in questione; ne consegue che la storia dell'umanità è sempre stata storia di lotte di classi.

La prima è il tono decisamente polemico e bellicoso, che non teme di essere (e forse vuole essere) antipatico e sgradevole. È un tono risentito e indignato, che sembra promettere la resa dei conti definitiva (ovviamente, con la borghesia). E forse è anche il tono di chi è convinto di aver capito tutto il funzionamento della storia umana e la sua direzione inevitabile, e si sente completamente sicuro di ciò che sostiene. Anche se oggi, dopo aver visto tutte le catastrofi prodotte dal marxismo realizzato, è facilissimo definirlo di enorme presunzione.
La seconda è la descrizione dei cambiamenti dell'economia che si legge nella prima parte, con l'estensione a tutto il mondo dell'industria, dei commerci e dei legami economici (il "mercato universale"), il superamento degli ambiti nazionali e il cosmopolitismo, la prevalenza delle relazioni di tipo economico rispetto a tutte le altre, la potenza crescente della tecnica. Sembra una descrizione perfetta del capitalismo globalizzato di oggi; ma risale a centosettant'anni fa. Erano visionari o profeti, Marx ed Engels? O forse erano solo stati capaci di vedere delle tendenze insite nel capitalismo, che allora erano in una fase iniziale, e che ora sono più evidenti che mai? Non lo so, ma anche per chi pensa che il marxismo e tutta la sua progenie siano errori e disastri, questo antivedere così chiaro è qualcosa che mette qualche brivido.… (altro)
