Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the first to explore the whole literature of British Socialism, describing the origins, aims, strategy, and tactics of the movement. It presents a summary of a thousand books and pamphlets published by the Socialist movement itself, mostly unknown to booksellers and public libraries, including those which are not in the British Museum Library. The author has consulted Socialist texts addressed to students as well as propaganda literature educating Socialist rank and file and shaping its political views. The author's analysis of the disease of which Socialism is a symptom and a consequence is of utmost value, as are the practical measures proposed for curing it. Socialists rely on passion for the victory of their cause, and the author shows how, in describing society of the present and society of the future, Socialists let their imagination run riot in the most astounding fashion. The author has rendered a great service in exposing the Socialists' own self -contradictory plans and doctrines, separating the wisdom from the folly, the grain from the chaff, in the teachings of the Socialists.
