An important work for a socialist at any stage of development. Sankara became president of Burkina Faso on this day (August 4th, 1983).

 

I read this book a while ago and generally appreciated it's insight: captialism isn't a natural consequence of human existence, its the result of very specific material conditions in 16th and 17th century England. I'll admit though, I didn't have a strong grasp of marxism (not that I do now) or leninism when I read the work.

Have other comrades read it? What were your thoughts about the work generally or in relation to other marxist ideas?
