Publisher's Synopsis
""Socialism: Promise or Menace?"" is a non-fiction book written by Morris Hillquit, an American socialist politician and labor lawyer. The book was first published in 1913 and provides a comprehensive analysis of socialism as a political and economic ideology. Hillquit argues that socialism is a promise of a better future for the working class and a solution to the problems of poverty, inequality, and exploitation. He presents a detailed history of socialism, from its early origins to its current state, and discusses the different schools of thought within the socialist movement. The book also addresses the criticisms and objections to socialism, such as the fear of government control and the loss of individual freedom. Hillquit argues that these concerns are unfounded and that socialism is a democratic and humane system that can benefit society as a whole. Overall, ""Socialism: Promise or Menace?"" is a thought-provoking and informative book that provides a thorough examination of socialism as an ideology and its potential to transform society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
