Best known as the author of On Liberty, John Stuart Mill remains a
canonical figure in liberalism today. Yet according to his
autobiography, by the mid-1840s he placed himself "under the
general designation of Socialist." Taking this self-description
seriously, John Stuart Mill, Socialist reinterprets Mill's work in
its light. Helen McCabe explores the nineteenth-century political
economist's core commitments to egalitarianism, social justice,
social harmony, and a socialist utopia of cooperation, fairness,
and human flourishing. Uncovering Mill's changing relationship with
the radicalism of his youth and his excitement about the
revolutionary events of 1848, McCabe argues that he saw liberal
reforms as solutions to contemporary problems, while socialism was
the path to a better future. In so doing, she casts new light on
his political theory, including his theory of social progress; his
support for democracy; his feminism; his concept of utility; his
understanding of individuality; and his account of "the permanent
interests of man as a progressive being," which is so central to
his famous harm principle. As we look to rebuild the world in the
wake of financial crises, climate change, and a global pandemic,
John Stuart Mill, Socialist offers a radical rereading of the
philosopher and a fresh perspective on contemporary meanings of
socialism.
