Socialism
by Thomas Fleming

From the Political Systems of the World series by Marshall Cavendish Benchmark

Hardcover • 144 pages

For as many teachers, students, politicians, and pundits who ready to explain the thought of Engels or Rousseau, there are definitions of socialism.  To understand a political or social theory, however, it is not enough to know its intellectual history.  One must also learn how the theory manifested itself in the lives of men throughout time and around the world.  In his latest book, the author of The Politics of Human Nature and The Morality of Everyday Life does both with clear and lively prose undergirded by unparalled expertise.

Also included:

  • Are the Masons socialist?
  • Why socialism and the Church are inevitably at odds.
  • Socialism’s effect on the family.
  • Why an environmentalist is like a tomato.
