L'origine della Famiglia della Proprietà privata e dello Stato

in relazione alle ricerche di L. H. Morgan

by Friedrich Engels

Translated by Pasquale Martignetti

"L'origine della Famiglia della Proprietà privata e dello Stato" by Friedrich Engels is an anthropological treatise published in 1884. Based on Karl Marx's notes and Lewis H. Morgan's research, it examines how human societies evolved from matrilineal clans to patriarchal structures. Engels argues that the rise of private property fundamentally transformed family organization and women's social power, calling this shift "the world-historic defeat of the female sex." The work traces humanity's progression through stages of social development and remains influential in discussions of family economics and historical materialism.
