ABOUT THE BOOK:

We live in a world of inequality and terrible violence. A world where millions of children die each year because they lack food—while the rich get richer. A world where the living standards of workers and the poor continue to erode, year after year. A world threatened by environmental catastrophe. The Case for Socialism argues that another world—a socialist world—is possible. One in which people come before profit and working people control society democratically, putting the world’s resources to meeting human needs.


PRAISE:

“Amid the wreckage of the Bush/Clinton/Bush imperium, many leftists have surrendered to a kind of smug fatalism, content to be sideline critics of the machine. Not Alan Maass. In vivid and urgent prose, he chronicles the grotesque depredations of the neolibs and neocons alike, then gets down to the real work of illuminating a path out of the sucking abyss. His book charts a game plan for realistic radicals, who haven’t given up hope for making revolutionary changes in a society that finds itself in the grip of a remorseless political entropy. Take cheer: History isn’t over. In fact, it’s hardly even begun for us. Read Maass. Then go out and make some.”

Jeffrey St. Clair, co-editor of CounterPunch
