Engels in the 21st Century by C. Ritchie (pre-order shipping 16/2/26)

Doc Ritchie, acclaimed for his engaging recent books on ‘Marx, Work and the 21st Century’ and ‘Marxism & Philosophy in the 21st Century: Materialism & Idealism’, now brings his sharp analytical style to this essential figure. It is structured to first ground Engels in his political context, then examine his key works, and finally provide a compelling overview of the dialectical materialist method. True to Ritchie’s popular approach, it strips away dense footnotes and lengthy prefaces, making complex theory accessible for a new generation.
