"Essays on the Materialistic Conception of History" by Antonio Labriola is a late 19th-century exploration of historical materialism and its impact on labor and socialism. The book examines the economic conditions driving social change, particularly through the lens of class conflict. It begins by considering the enduring importance of the Communist Manifesto and its effects on socialist thought since 1848. Labriola contends that this concept is more than just a set of political ideas; it offers a way to understand how economics shapes society, suggesting it will lead to a socialist future due to the push and pull between different groups and the way things are made and consumed, which are key to understanding history itself.
