A Socialism for the Twenty-First Century: Towards the 'Full and Free Development of Every Individual'

By Tony Smith

Marx called for a society where the ruling principle is 'the full and free development of every individual.' Capitalism neither is nor can be such a society. Domination, worsening ecological crises, and many other pathologies are its intrinsic features--not bugs that can be corrected. But is there truly a better way to organize society? And if we can imagine one, can we be confident it could be put into practice? The answer to both questions is an emphatic 'Yes ' This book makes the case. It describes in detail a workable model of republican socialism, a vision of socialism worth fighting for.
