The success of Jeremy Corbyn’s left-led Labour Party and Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign revived a political idea many had thought dead. But what, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system look like today? <br><br>In <i>The Socialist Manifesto</i>, Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of <i>Jacobin </i>magazine, argues that socialism offers the means to achieve economic equality, and also to fight other forms of oppression, including racism and sexism.
The ultimate goal is not Soviet-style planning, but to win rights to healthcare, education, and housing and to create new democratic institutions in workplaces and communities. The book both explores socialism’s history and presents a realistic vision for its future.
A primer on socialism for the 21st century, this is a book for anyone seeking an end to the vast inequities of our age.
