description: At the time of original publication in 1927, the publisher "Based upon Morgan's Ancient Society and other fundamental works of social science, Evolution of Society views the present plight of society and forecasts future social possibilities in terms of mankind's development of the tools of wealth production and of the mode of exchange. It is, in effect, a Marx-Morgan-DeLeon synthesis." Marriage, property and governmental institutions are traced from their origins in ancient society, through their forms in class-ruled society, to their probable forms in the classless society of Socialism. "The book's examination of class-ruled society emphasizes the need for the Industrial Republic of Emancipated Labor."
