""Richard Wolff's book is the best accessible and reliable treatment we have of what socialism is, was, and should be."" --Cornel West ""Lucid, brilliant, and uncompromising in his dissection of the capitalist system, [Wolff] also provides a sane and just socialist alternative to capitalist exploitation, one we must all fight to achieve."" --Chris Hedges ""In the same accessible style that has made his programs and lectures such a hit, [Wolff] explains his subject in a way that's not only smart, but makes the rest of us feel smart. It's actionable intelligence."" --Laura Flanders ""Wolff's 138-page book is an accessible and insightful primer that undertakes a critical examination of the history of state-led socialism while offering a refreshing vision of a new model based upon workplace democracy."" --Gregory N. Heires
