Socialism has made a dramatic comeback in the 21st century. In the
wake of financial crisis, mounting inequality and social decay, it
seems more relevant than ever. Nobody who seeks to understand
contemporary politics can ignore it. In this book, leading scholar
Peter Lamb identifies the key ideas and principles of socialism and
explores different (often conflicting) interpretations that have
appeared in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, from the early
nineteenth century until today. He explores the different ways that
socialist thinkers have conceptualised community, equality and
liberty and shows how, despite overlap with other traditions,
socialists have combined these ideas in common and distinct ways
that make the socialist tradition uniquely valuable. Lamb goes on
to trace the recent re-emergence of these ideas, and explain what
will be required for such a revival to be popular, powerful and
sustained. This book will be invaluable to any student or scholar
interested in political theory, socialism, communism or political
ideologies, as well as to general readers striving to understand
contemporary politics throughout the world.
