📚 Dialectical Materialism

Books with dialectical materialism on their catalogue record, first published between 1880 and 1976, ordered by how many editions are in print.

Below are the 30 works carrying the subject dialectical materialism in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print, out of the 5,254 works the catalogue holds under that subject. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
