Socialism--what Went Wrong?: An Inquiry Into the Theoretical and Historical Sources of the Socialist CrisisThe chasm between huge individual wealth and the abject misery of hundreds of millions of people persists and can, in many cases, be said to be widening. The author's view is that the conflict between the rapaciousness of the system and popular discontent has to provide the conditions for a new social order. Socialism, in some form, argues Silber, is an essential element in a future for the whole human race. |
