By Hugh Oakeley Arnold-Forster

Book Overview

English Socialism of Today: Its Teaching and Its Aims Examined is a book written by Hugh Oakeley Arnold-Forster in 1908. In this book, Arnold-Forster examines the principles and goals of the English socialist movement of the time. He analyzes the teachings of prominent socialist thinkers and leaders, such as William Morris and H.G. Wells, and critiques their ideas.Arnold-Forster argues that socialism, as it was understood in England at the time, was a flawed and unrealistic ideology. He contends that the socialist movement was misguided in its belief that the state could effectively manage the economy and provide for the needs of all citizens. Instead, Arnold-Forster advocates for a more moderate approach to social reform that emphasizes individual responsibility and private enterprise.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of English socialism. Arnold-Forster examines the socialist critique of capitalism, the role of the state in the economy, the relationship between socialism and democracy, and the implications of socialist ideas for individual freedom and responsibility.English Socialism of Today: Its Teaching and Its Aims Examined is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the political and social debates of the early 20th century. It is a thoughtful and well-reasoned critique of socialism that remains relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
