About this Event
Join the Working Class Movement Library, Manifesto Press and Manchester Morning Star Readers and Supporters Group to celebrate the launch of Doc Ritchie’s excellent and timely new volume, Friedrich Engels in the 21st Century. Published during the anniversary week of The Communist Manifesto, this powerful analysis from one of the Manifesto Press stable's most compelling writers arrives at a crucial moment for re-engaging with foundational socialist thought.
Ritchie, acclaimed for his works on Marx and Work in the 21st Century, now turns his analytical skills to Engels. The book deeply explores how Engels’ formative period at his father’s Manchester cotton mill from 1842 exposed him to the brutal conditions that shaped his radicalism, forging an indelible link between the thinker and this city. It’s a great book to give a friend or workmate, just starting out on the path to socialism.
The launch is at the Working Class Movement Library in Salford on Monday 16 February at 6:30pm. Hear from Doc Ritchie and Georgina Andrews, Unison North West regional committee, with a special solidarity message from Manfred Sohn director of the Marx-Engels Institute, Wuppertal.
