Socialism 101 by Kathleen Sears

Socialism 101

Understand one of the most debated and misunderstood political ideologies of our time — Socialism 101 by author and educator Kathleen Sears is a balanced, clear-eyed, and thoroughly engaging introduction to socialism in all its forms. From Marx and Engels to Scandinavian social democracy and democratic socialism today, this book cuts through the noise to explain what socialism actually is, where it came from, and how it has been practised around the world.

About This Book

• Covers the full spectrum of socialist thought — Marxism, communism, democratic socialism, social democracy, libertarian socialism, and market socialism — and how they differ from one another
• Explores the historical origins of socialism — from the Industrial Revolution and the writings of Marx and Engels, through the Russian Revolution, to the rise of welfare states in Europe
