It connects everyday worries about pay, hours, and living conditions to the larger forces of capitalism and class relations.
Ideal for readers new to socialist ideas who want a practical, evidence-based look at how the economy affects daily life and what changes might improve it.

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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exploration of the tenets of socialism, a political and economic ideology that has garnered significant international support due to the widespread suffering caused by the capitalist system. The author posits that at the root of society's ills is the system itself, rather than its individual members, underscoring the importance of replacing the current order with a socialist one. Throughout history, class struggles have been a recurring theme, arising from the disparities between the wealthy elite and the working class. The author argues that this dynamic continues to play out in the present day, with the capitalist class exploiting workers through the extraction of surplus valueâ"the difference between the value of their labor and their wages. This surplus value forms the basis for profits, rent, and interest, allowing non-workers to accumulate wealth at the expense of those who create it. The book delves into the historical evolution of class struggles and the development of socialism as a response to the inherent flaws of capitalism. It examines the various phases of socialism, including its interpretation of history, critique of the present system, and vision for a better future. Ultimately, the significance of this book lies in its lucid exposition of socialism and its potential to address the inequities and inefficiencies of capitalism, offering a path toward a more just and equitable society.
