Publisher's Synopsis
The Historical Basis of Socialism in England is a book written by Henry Mayers Hyndman, a British socialist activist and politician. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the historical roots of socialism in England, tracing its origins from the medieval period up to the late 19th century.Hyndman explores the various social and economic factors that contributed to the rise of socialism in England, such as the growth of industrial capitalism, the emergence of the working class, and the influence of radical thinkers like Thomas Paine and William Morris. He also examines the role of socialist organizations and movements, such as the Chartist movement and the Fabian Society, in shaping the development of socialist thought and practice in England.Throughout the book, Hyndman argues that socialism is not a new or revolutionary idea, but rather a natural response to the injustices and inequalities of capitalist society. He advocates for the establishment of a socialist system that prioritizes the needs and interests of the working class, and challenges the prevailing capitalist ideology that perpetuates exploitation and inequality.Overall, The Historical Basis of Socialism in England is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the historical roots of socialism in England, and an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of socialism in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
