Excerpt from Essays in Socialism, New and Old The tone of public opinion and the principle on which the law is administered have not sensibly changed in the matter in question during the last decade. The suggestions contained in the essay on 'Early Christianity and Modern Socialism' may be supplemented to-day by a perusal of some works of recent scholarship that have since appeared, such as Professor Dills Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius and M. Gaston Boissier's La Religion Romaine. For the rest the author ventures to think the suggestions in question will not have lost any of their point for those who are interested in following up the analogies indicated as obtaining between the modern movement and that of the first centuries of the Christian era. Concerning the 'Natural History of the Nonconformist Conscience, ' it may be pointed out that the history of English public opinion during the Boer War has since afforded a sinister commentary on the outline sketch given ten years back of the origin and history of that notorious ethical product.

An excerpt from the Economic Review, Volume 1: "THIS is a complete exposition of English Socialism in its latest maturest phase," says Mr. Sidney Webb ("Socialism in England," p. 38). If one of the cleverest contributors had not thus set his own estimate on the aim and value of the volume of essays, a critic who should demand from it a complete and coherent manifesto of the "New Socialism" might fairly be held a little exacting. I do not intend to press Mr. Webb's ambitious description; it would be a graceless and a barren task to employ a microscopic eye in the discovery of inconsistencies in the essays and between the essays of the individual writers; I prefer to view the book as the outcome of a common wave of thought. "Quot homines, tot sententæ;" who would not shrink before the task of editing the contributions of seven keen and original minds? One feels that something of compromise has entered into the collaboration; that some of the writers, at any rate, would have said a good deal more if they had spoken out; that the judicious editor has primed a little paradox and softened -a little vehemence—has endeavoured to make the work not only both popular and scientific, but palatable to bourgeois prejudice withal. Only very rarely (once or twice in Mr. Shaw's essays) the "lyrical note" of the older revolutionary Socialism breaks out. But for the most part there is nothing of savagery, except the frontispiece of the popular edition, and that is doubtless a typographical survival. We must take the "New Socialism" at its own professions. The older creed—the pathetic and impatient belief in the immediate perfectibility of human nature, and in the saving virtue of the purifying fires of revolutionary catastrophes—has been tamed by experience. Socialists—Fabian Socialists, at any rate—are adopting "historical" methods. This change of front is as striking as it is welcome, showing, as it does, that the issues are no longer to be committed to the stronger arm, but to the better argument. Mr. Webb has armed himself with a new weapon; he has turned to the interpretation of the history of the last hundred years for comfort and encouragement. "We are all Socialists, now!" said Sir William Harcourt in his haste: Mr. Webb insists on taking Sir William seriously. Yet history may not turn out such a facile disciple as M. Jourdain, and "Individualism," or whatever may be the antithesis of Socialism, is not quite driven from the field. Mr. Webb deals furiously with facts and figures, but a sceptic might surely come through them unconvinced. No array of facts, however imposing, is of much value, unless it proves the conclusion at issue. To take one of Mr. Webb's strongest instances: the State manages the Post Office because it is not desirable that postal services, and consequently postal rates, should be left to private competition, because it is desirable that postal rates should be equitable rather than proportionate to the expense of transmission in each case, because it is an undertaking which by its nature can be efficiently managed by a Government department. In plain terms, the State is motived by the interests of the nation and by its own, but not, so far as I know, by the desire to confer a benefit on its employees. Does a municipality which takes over the town tramways act otherwise? In other words, is its action dictated by regard to consumers or to labourers? Apply the same test to every other case Mr. Webb quotes to support his thesis. What history in his hands proves is: (1) that private competition is often disastrous; (2) that, a, State regulation, or, ß State annexation of a particular branch of industry, may, under some circumstances, be preferable; (3) that in all these cases the State or subordinate governing body has held itself bound to consult the interest of the consumer....

The 58th annual volume of the Socialist Register takes up the challenge of exploring how the new polarizations relate to the contradictions that underlie them and how far 'centrist' politics can continue to contain them. Original essays examine the multiplication of antagonistic national, racial, generational, and other identities in the context of growing economic inequality, democratic decline, and the shifting parameters of great power rivalry. Where, how, and by what means can the left move forward?

A chronicle of recent events that have shaken the world, from the author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century “What makes this manifesto noteworthy is that it comes from . . . an economist who gained his reputation as a researcher with vaguely left-of-center sensibilities but was far from a radical. Yet the times are such . . . that even honest moderates are driven to radical remedies.”—Robert Kuttner, New York Times As a correspondent for the French newspaper Le Monde, world-renowned economist Thomas Piketty has documented the rise and fall of Trump, the drama of Brexit, Emmanuel Macron’s ascendance to the French presidency, the unfolding of a global pandemic, and much else besides, always from the perspective of his fight for a more equitable world. This collection brings together those articles and is prefaced by an extended introductory essay, in which Piketty argues that the time has come to support an inclusive and expansive conception of socialism as a counterweight against the hypercapitalism that defines our current economic ideology. These essays offer a first draft of history from one of the world’s leading economists and public figures, detailing the struggle against inequalities and tax evasion, in favor of a federalist Europe and a globalization more respectful of work and the environment.

George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre.

The contributors to this book, first published in 1971, analyse as International Socialists the economic and social issues of modern society. Their findings were controversial, as was the alternative they proposed – the overthrow of the British system and its replacement by a society based on workers’ control. A central theme of the book is the need for socialists to have a scientific view of the modern world – a socialist theory.

"This bold new study analyzes the historical choices facing us at the outset of the new millennium. The author gives new meaning and urgency to the alternatives posed by Rosa Luxemburg at the beginning of the century. His detailed analysis of the roots and development of US global power shows how its supremacy has come at the cost of exhausting the universalising pretensions of capitalism. The destructive tendencies of capitalism are a greater threat today than every before." -- BACK COVER.

“A valuable and uncommon perspective . . . The book covers both theory of women’s oppression and the history and politics of women’s movements.” —Dana L. Cloud, author of Reality Bites More than forty years after the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s, women remain without equal rights. If anything, each decade that has passed without a fighting women’s movement has seen a rise in blatant sexism and the further erosion of the gains that were won in the 1960s and 1970s. Yet liberal feminist organizations have followed the Democratic Party even as it has continually tacked rightward since the 1980s. This fully revised edition examines these issues from a Marxist perspective, focusing on the centrality of race and class. It includes chapters on the legacy of Black feminism and other movements of women of color and the importance of the concept of intersectionality. In addition, Women and Socialism: Class, Race, and Capital explores the contributions of socialist feminists and Marxist feminists in further developing a Marxist analysis of women’s oppression amid the stirrings of a new movement today. Praise for Sharon Smith’s Subterranean Fire “Sharon Smith brings that history to life once again, blasting through the myths of the working class that Trump-era narratives cling to in order to connect us once again to the possibility of building broad solidarity.” —Sarah Jaffe, author of Work Won’t Love You Back “A veteran worker-intellectual brilliantly addresses the crisis of the labor movement, skewering those who believe that renewal can come from the top down, and encouraging those who are fighting to rebuild it from the bottom up.” —Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums
