Excerpt from The Case for Socialism
The Opening chapter of this book - the chapter of general exposition - has been adopted and issued by the Independent Labour Party as a statement of the Socialist position. There is much confusion in the public mind about Socialism. The word is flung about indiscriminately by politicians as a mere term of abuse. That is for the moment the favourite method of making faces at their Opponents adopted by the ruck of political partisans With whom that sort of thing passes for the discussion of public affairs. As against that prevalent imbecility, this book is intended to provide a clear and definite reasoned statement of the essential teaching of Socialism.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational work of socialist thought, exploring the social and economic injustices the author felt were rampant within his society. The author argues that poverty is not an unavoidable consequence of living in a civilized society, but instead is a direct result of the way in which wealth is distributed and controlled. He proposes that the problems created by the private ownership of land and capital lead to an unsustainable class division between the wealthy and the poor. The author suggests that the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few deprives the working class of a fair share of the wealth they create, trapping them in perpetual poverty. The book argues that access to the resources and means of production should be available to all members of society, enabling them to share in the benefits of their collective labor. The author also explores the concepts of private property and the morality of capitalism, suggesting that the system is inherently unfair and exploitative. This book offers a powerful critique of capitalism and its effects on society, providing a compelling argument for a more just and equitable economic system.
