This personal biography of Marx, by an intimate friend who was himself one of the foremost Socialists of Germany, gives a new insight into the beginnings of Socialism. Moreover, it is a charming book, as interesting as a novel, and will make an admirable introduction to heavier reading on Socialism.
The author is a Socialist member of the Belgian Parliament and is one of the ablest writers in the international Socialist movement. This book is, on the whole, the most satisfactory brief summary of the principles of Socialism that has yet been written. One distinctive feature of it is that it takes up the difficult questions of how the machinery of production could be acquired and how wages could be adjusted under a Socialist administration.
