Summary
Summary
A blend of history, analysis, and theory, Understanding Socialism is an honest and approachable text that knocks down false narratives, confronts failures and challenges of various socialist experiments throughout history, and offers a path to a new socialism based on workplace democracy. This audio edition also incudes Richard D. Wolff's bestselling essay Understanding Marxism, which asks the question "Why should we pay attention to the great social critics like Marx?"Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Richard Wolff’s book is the best accessible and reliable treatment we have of what socialism is, was, and should be.” —Cornel West, New York Times bestselling author
“Lucid, brilliant, and uncompromising in his dissection of the capitalist system, he also provides a sane and just socialist alternative to capitalist exploitation, one we must all fight to achieve.” —Chris Hedges, New York Times bestselling author
“In the same accessible style that has made his programs and lectures such a hit, he explains his subject in a way that’s not only smart but makes the rest of us feel smart. It’s actionable intelligence for the every person.” —Laura Flanders, broadcast journalist
