Book Description

Excerpt from The A B C of Socialism, (Including the A B C of Economics) The authors of this little book, which is a frank piece of Socialist propaganda, lay no great stress on the originality of what they say. That would be quite impossible at this date for any elementary book on Socialism. If there be any originality at all, then, it is in the manner of presenting the subject, in including an A B C of Economics, and in giving an easily constructed, but firmly founded argument together with the material for making it intelligible. The book is so written that it touches upon much material more than once, but each time from a different standpoint. This kind of repetition amplifies the readers knowledge, impresses the point and relieves the monotony so characteristic of many good books on the subject. There is no reason why a conscientious reading of Part One alone should not give the reader all the essentials of modem Socialism. Part Two is well calculated to lead the interested student into the detailed aspects of the subject. This book is dedicated to all those slaves whom it would earnestly help to free, not through enthusiasm that results only in fine phrases, but through knowledge that leads to intelligent action.
