Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Economic Causes of War

A striking fact now presents itself The workers, thus forced to associate in the labor of production, did not necessarily belong to one and the same political and social group; on the contrary, the very composition of primitive so cieties compelled men, originally belonging to difierent tribes, to unite for the purpose of a common production. This peculiar circumstance was due to two fundamental institutions of primitive humanity, the matmarchate and exogamy, the former of which made the woman the nucleus Of the family as well as its governor, while the second compelled her to take her mate from without her own tribe. It therefore fol lows that the family group, within which the association Of labor first arose, was composed, on the one hand, of a number of women belonging to the same tribe, or to the same matriarchal nucleus, and, on the other, of a number Of men their husbands - who were members originally.
