These are words written to me in a letter recently received, by a friend who is professor of political economy in a prominent Western university. They indicate at once a difficulty in the way of the economist. The topics he discusses are so vital, that any presentation of them is bound to be misconstrued in some quarter. Nevertheless, there seems to be only one course for an honest man, which is to say his word and patiently endure misunderstanding and even malicious abuse. But it may not be out of place for me to state the purpose of this monograph. The aim of the present paper is so clear that only unfortunate experience in the past leads me to explain it in the preface. When my French and German Socialism was published, one ill-natured critic complained because my opmions were not distinguished from the opinions I was endeavoring to expound. This criticism was echoed in other places. Now it had not occurred to me that it was necessary to thrust my opinions upon the reader of the history of French and German Socialism. In reading works covering like ground I had often been annoyed by childish criticism such as must occur to every boy, criticism thrust into the midst of the presentation of some theoretical system, so I resolved to abstain from anything of the kind and thought it sufficient to let the facts speak for themselves. The aim of this monograph is quite similar.. It is primarily a presentation and not a refutation.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of American socialism during the late 19th century, offering a historical exploration of various communal experiments and the rise of revolutionary socialist thought. The author traces the trajectory of communal living in America, from the early attempts of the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies to the more established societies like the Shakers and the Perfectionists. The narrative then shifts to the emergence of revolutionary socialism, focusing on the impact of Henry George's influential work, "Progress and Poverty," and its role in galvanizing the labor movement. The author meticulously examines the two primary revolutionary socialist parties of the time ââ â the Socialistic Labor Party and the International Workingmen's Association ââ â contrasting their ideologies and methods. This book offers profound insights into the aspirations, strategies, and philosophical underpinnings of these movements, shedding light on their perspectives on religion, family, and the envisioned social order. By delving into the complexities of American socialism, this book provides a valuable understanding of a pivotal period in American history and its enduring relevance to contemporary discussions on economic equality and social justice.
